I've got a small network going between 2 pc's mainly for gaming.The whole thing was working fine until one day it just stopped working.
I've tried the "test direct play" thingy in the dxdiag app and hosted a session on pc #1 then tried to join from pc#2 to no avail. Then i tried to ping pc#1 from pc#2 and that worked,then i tried to ping pc#2 from pc#1 which didnt work(request timed out) so i tried to ping pc#2 from itself which didnt work either(request timed out). Then i unistalled the drivers and the network protocols on both pc's and reinstalled them again and reassigned them their ip's but that didnt solve the problem eiter.
Both pc's are running win xp pro with sp2 and the firewalls are both turned off.
The strange thing is we can still send each other data over the network with no problem,but are unable to see each other when hosting a game or in the dxdiag app.
Am i missing something or what???
Desperately need help plzz!!!
Thx.
