Hello, I have a netgear wireless router, with one computer hooked directly to it, and 2 other wireless ones hooked to it. They all share their internet beautifully, but I have no clue how to play games, such as Ghost Recon over a lan! I try to play GR over the internet, but I guess either my firewall is blocking me from playing the game corectly, or it may be my antivirus. But anyway, I just want to play a regular lan game with another computer in my house. The other computer I am wanting to play against has a p4 1.6 and win xp pro. THank you for you help

With Ghost Recon, go into where you usually browse for games over the internet. There should be an option that shows where the incoming servers are coming from. You should be able to change it from Internet to LAN. Make a local game on one of your computers and try to do what I said above so you can try and join it. It's like this for nearly every new game. Hope this helps.
