im trying to run a cs server or any game server for me and a few friends of mine. i have capped upload at 128kbits/s so i can only host a few ppl anyways. I'm using 2 computers both with win98se and using it's internet sharing functions. Now when i join or download or do anything but server it all runs great. However when i run a server for CS or Diablo2 or any game, non of my friends are able to connect. they tell me that the game cannot even find my server. Now, i thought it was the firewall problem so i've uninstalled it and deleted everything (registery and all files) and it still gave me same error. Even after a format and fresh install it gave me same problems. But i have no problem joining and playing any online games.

I'm using win98se for both machines, @home cable service. my traceroute and ping commands all give me great pings. for network setting i have Tcp/ip and Ipx/Spx only (do i need other protocalls?). That's the most i can think of now. Please ask questions and help... I can't seem to figure this out. thanx

Please email me or PM me incase this post goes down too fast.
