i have successfully installed the nics
i have installed the drivers
i have created a client for microsoft networks (on both computers)
i have created a tcp/ip protocol
i have bought a proper crosover lead and connected it

these are the ip numbers i used
computer1 ip: 192.161.0.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
computer2 ip: 192.161.0.2 subnet mask 255.255.255.0

both have unique computer names
both are in the same user group
protocols are bounded to nic cards



I try to start a network game in a few different games and none of them show up.....I then try to ping the other computer in dos prompt and that wont work either........

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG????

Well do you see what the problem is. One computer looks like it is getting an IP address from your ISP and the other one is being statically assigned by you. The computers may physically be on the same physical network but they are not on the same subnet. Are these two computers hooked up to a hub or switch. How is your computer connected to the internet.

Plus your gateway is an invalid address for the subnet you are on. 198.162.0.1 cannot be the gateway for a 192.168.0.0 network.

The address you posted for your ME machine is actually your Dialup modem and not your nic card. I did a trace on those IP addresses and it come back as an address in AU domain which I assume is australia.

Are you sure your NIC card is working. Look in device manager to see if there is a yellow exclamation point next to it.
