We need more spice, then we'll help you. lol. Anyways...man I haven't played Dune 2k in so long. I tried installing it last night but it doesn't like XP. I can't even get the screen to load. "All I see is darkness". Well I can hear music though... But, normally to play any type of LAN game over TCP/IP (which is easier than IPX to work with) you just specify the private IP. I.e. set one computer to host the game, then get the local IP of it (from a command prompt, type ipconfig /all and note the IP, should be 192.168.x.x or possibly 10.1.x.x) then on the other machine, do a join and specify that IP as the game to join.
