Ive tried many games such as Counter Strike, Starcraft, Halo, LOTR, and Diablo 2 and i cant play any lans games. Please tell me what i can do to fix this.
I am connected to a lan by the way and the games are the same version as every1 else.

hey mate .
can u make sure if u enabled IPX and NETBUI.
specialy in win9x/me the gaes couldnt start withuot enabeling those stuffs
to enbale then in winx/me just go to my "My Network Places" and choose properties and then chose "add" button and from the left list chose "protocol" and u will see in the list something called "IPX/SPX-compatible protocol" then click ok and re-do the same oparation and this time add "netbui"
restart and try to join games over your network
N.B. : sorry abt my weak lang

Ive tried both and still they dont work. It only works when i plug a ethernet cable directly into another computer. When i created a game, my friend can join but when he creates, i can see the game but cant join. On Counterstrike it said, "Lan Servers are restricted to Local Clients (Class C) and Net_sendPacket Error: WSAEINVAC". THis is only when the two computres are connected by a cable. After i pluged backed into the lan, and same problem, no games so up and no one can see my games. Please help.

Are You Using XP If So Do This

Well If You HaveXP Go Into Your Network settings and install nwlink THis is the protocol used to access lan games. :giddy:

Try This

enable netbios over tcpip
