gryphon Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 and its a direct Ethernet COnnection with C&C red alert 2 working perfect across it... soo.... Any idea's???and no for the adress's its both auto when your in the menu of the game and goto options and network.. both comps only have 1 ip and they r not the same.. unlike in C&C red alert u cannot choose the correct 1.Red Allert uses IPX for the network games, not TCP/IP. . . If your PC's are directly connected and don't have a by you set IP it is bound to go wrong.If you go to DOS start -> run -> type "cmd" enter .. then at the DOS prompt type "ipconfig -all". . can you post what the result is on both computers ?

erjin999 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 In WinXP, to check the windows firewall, go to Control Panel, Network Connections, right click the network connection you would like to check, and select Properties. The very last tab, Advanced is for the firewall (and sharing, me thinks).1 Control Panel2 right click Network Connections3 Properties4 last tab, Advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
