Answer 1

k kewl

make sure your ip address settings are in the same range and subnet  eg:

PC1 - 192.168.0.1  255.255.255.0

PC2 - 192.168.0.2  255.255.255.0

make sure they can ping each other by typing "cmd" in run

then ping PC2's IP from PC2 and vica versa

make sure u get replies, If not check ur firewall software

next when all that is kewl start a game on PC1 machine

and on the other try join , I f you do not see PC1 on PC2

press the ~ key and type "\connect 192.168.0.1"

this will point it to the pc that started the game

Just keep in mind I have used the ip addresses as examples, you may change the ip addresses on your machines to these or use your own just make sure they are in the same range and the subnet is the same

hope this helps
