Problem: LAN Games

[PeteyElf]

I just installed RA2 on my comps in my basement here, and everytime I open RA2, I'm sitting at the main menu and I click on "Network", to play a LAN game. When I click this, it goes directly back to the main screen, over and over again...a neverending cycle. WTF is wrong with this, it makes no sense to me. I researched it a bit, and I got the patch...still same problem. Somebody help me so I can play LAN games with my lil brother. Thanks, Peter.

This is a very simple problem. Go to network places, then go to network connections, right click on local area connection and click on properties. When the window comes up click on install, go to protocol and install IPX/SPX netbios compatible transport protocol. Then it'll work.

Where do i find IPX/SPX netbios compatible transport protocol.

I gave instructions to get to it right in my first post. Go to network places, then go to network connections, right click on local area connection and click on properties. When the window comes up click on install, go to protocol and install IPX/SPX netbios compatible transport protocol.

Ok. That fixed that problem. Now, I can't see my other computer in the lobby, even when I create a game...That's kind of odd..I am on the same network.Never mind I figured it out. One computer is a wireless connection with no LAN connection and the other is a wired connection with the LAN connection..The reason its setup that way is because one of the computer(Obviously the one with the USB Wireless Internet Setup) Has no Network Card. So I'll have to get one, simple as that. Thanks for your help man, appreciate it.
