Do you have any software firewalls active on the computers? Disable these, including the WIndows Firewall.
Some (very) old games require the IPX protocol to be installed.

For instructions of how to play the game over the network, the game manual would be a good place to start :)
 
I really dont have the game manual..........can u send it to me via email? coz i need it most............. Here in pakistan all the games are pirated i cant find here any manual....or please giv me any site address from where i can download manual.
 
Ummm, try the manufacturer's website? :)

Those games are so old they probably use IPX or TCP through dial up...
