can't. the server only allows one game per ip address. to play two people on the same server, you have to have two lines. with one router, you only have 1 ip address.\n\nmaybe somebody else will come along and answer this.

First check if you both PCs have on-board lan cards (called Network ready or LAN ready motherboadrs). If anyone dosent have, buy one for it. You also need a LAN cable. The details are below:\n1> Netword Adapter/LAN card \n2>RJ-42 (4twisted pair) LAN clable.\n\ntell the shopkeeper to CLAMP the cable in CROSS format. CROSS is important. Now commect one end to one computer and the other to the other one. Your hardware is set up.\n\nNow just run the network setup wizard (found in control panel-->network connections) or Help center(start-->help).

Call the server manager and wait for him to fix it.\n\n(Answers was: "Reboot it.")

get a better computer, or if it is online, get cable or connect to a low ping server

Simple buy a eathernet cable and connect 2 computers as LAN. Server will be your old computer and use your Laptop for regular usage.

That's odd. Make sure your server is running.  Also, make sure your IIS is configured right.  And make sure that the connection to that computer is solid.  I know that I had probelms with a server with a funky connection.

make sure your dhcp server is reachable from your computer. Most of the time its a firewall blocking it so turn off your firewall.\n\nAlso, make sure you dhcp is actually running. ;)

you need a null modem cable.\n\n\nlike a parralell to parralell or serial to serial  then use the direct cable connection tool to connect.\n\nMust be running on both machines.. one running as host one running as client.\n\n\nhope that helps

First of first , try to fix your windows (registry and file system) and ,s , then install the latest drivers for your graphics card and sound card\n\nalso try to use the SAME XFX Card on your freinds computers and see if things works then .. it may be an in-compatibility with YOUR system

If they are both on the same workgroup, try pinging each other. If you get succesfull ping then you probably have settings the wrong way on the permissions. Right click on my network places and click the link that says view workgroup computers. You should be able to see both of them there. Make sure you have the cdrive shared and with full permissions to network users. Also try going to start - run and type &#92;&#92;192.168.-.- (whatever the ipaddrss of the other machine is) and see if you have access. If you get the "not enough permission error" then you are missing something.\n\nGood Luck.

You cannot have two computers with the same IP address. Either one or both will cease to access the internet.\n\nYou CAN have two computers behind a router, with the router having one IP address, and have them both access the 'net at the same time. This usually is only done on DSL or T1 systems where public IP addresses are expensive.\n\nCheck to make sure that your server is not trying to use the same IP address as the wireless router, and make sure that you are not trying to give it an IP address that it does not already have. Many systems, including servers, are set to automatically assign itself and IP address that is given by the router.

Did you run the xp network setup wizard on both pc's?\nDid you check that you don't have firewall software preventing sharing. The wizard should take care of the xp firewall, but if you have norton or something like taht, you will need to add a trusted network.

I have faced this problem before. Check firewalls.

hi moreacidthan, i had the same problem, you have to send error report to microsoft, it will bring you onto a link that will tell you how to resolve the problem,also if there are two firewalls running sometimes they kind od collide and create a problem

If you connect both of them with a normal cable to a hub they are physically connected.\n\nCheck the settings on both computers and either set both of them to a fixed IP address in any of the RFC1918 address ranges (192.169.x.x, 172.16.x.x, or 10.x.x.x) or set both of them to DHP and in the absense of DHCP they will randomly pick a IP address (you'll need to go and find it in ordeer to use it on the other machine)\n\nIf you can "ping" the other machine's IP address, your done (check that (personal) firewalls aren't blocking you).\n\nAs far as application, you didn't specify what you want to achieve, but typically you'll need to activate a server service on one machine and have a client on the other machine.

yes, try to connect the 2 PC together some how (seriel cable is the best way- both end should be male (have the little pins- needles if you want)), and configure you game's network so the computers can see each other, it should be very easy.\nhave fun.

This is difficult to determine without additional information. For the most part, check to see if you have permissions. Are you properly logged into a server - Or do you have rights to the share? Do you have network access to the machine? (Ie. Ping it)\n\n If it is a company drive, is the machine you are connection with on the same domain or workgroup? (old problem but, I dont know what OS or version you are using) Has this problem just started or have you never tried to connect with this computer? If it just started, something - somewhere has changed. Try to find out what changed. If it has never connected successfully, Look over the configuration on a machine that does work. (If possible)
