I need help setting up a local TCP/IP game.
I get messages like...
"Unable to host game" and "unable to join game"
I removed my router and hooked two computers directly with a cross over
cable. Turned off my firewalls. File and printer sharing was working fine in
both directions. But the same errors still popped up. "Unable to host game"
and "unable to join game"
With the Router both computers were on the 192.168.1.0 /24 network. When I
hooked them up with the crossover cable they are on the 169.254.0.0 /8
I can access both computers. Pings ok, TraceRT ok (not a very long tracert
hehehe) File Sharing ok, Can access the printer, which is attached to the
other computer.
Same error message...
"Unable to host game" and "unable to join game"
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions!
The winning suggestion was....
Boot up only one computer. Load up the game and have that computer host the game. All went well. Boot up second computer, load game and join game. We are now play a local TCP/IP Diablo2 LOD game.
Thanks
