maybe you have not installed the correct protocols needed. some
games like Quake for example , need the IPX protocol to be included
in your networking option in your control panel. [netcpl.cpl] Go to
control panel >> Network >> "ADD" >> select
"Protocol" >> choose Microsoft as Manufacturer >>
choose "IPX/SPX-compatible protocol" >> choose OK. Have your
windows 98/ME CD ready. insert it & restart your computer after
the installation completed.
When you want to play network games, just go the option : IPX
gaming mode or something similar. Happy playing on Your Network
!
Hope this helps.
