I seem to be haveing a problem with games over lan.

Have Cable hooked to a 5 port etherfast lynksys 5 port workgroup hub.

Well i can share files, both can acess net, but can't get games to work over it using lan settings.

Tried RedAlert,Halflife,Falout:BOS Multiplayer demo. But they cant see to find each other and in the Fallout:BOS It sees me and i see it when it list games but when i connect we dont see each other.

Is thier something i am missing and do i need netbois over ipx enabled?

What protocol are you using ... I find I have no problem with "IPX/SPX" ...
I also found that after installing "NetBEUI" protocol all my other problems vanished
