I am trying to connect two PCs running Win XP (SP2) using a crossover cable in order to play Command and Conquer - Red Alert 2 over IPX protocol. I have IP1: 192.168.123.1 and IP2: 192.168.123.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and nothing set for gateway and DNS. I also disabled the windows firewall in both PCs.
When I try to play the game I select network game in Red Alert 2 in both PCs. The problem is that in one of the PCs I see both the local player and the remote player, while on the other PC I only see the local player. The PC where the two players appear has two options, to start a new game or join a game while the other PC has only the join option. But I cannot start a new game because in the first PC I get a message saying "Only one player?".
