playing games on LAN

[athlonoc1]

All is fine with both machines looking and talking to one another, but when I try to use IPX protocol for gaming, with Red Alert 2 and Colin MCrae 2, neither of the machines can see each other.
Westwood reckons there is a conflict with these two operating systems, and also suggest making a generic IP address 00.00.00.00

I dont understand. How do I do this, and will it mess up the way my machines talk to each other in windows.

Can anyone help with the above, or tell me straight if they will not work together over the LAN for gaming.

Thanks

Lee

Do you have the IPX/SPX protocol installed on both machines? If you don't have that protocol installed, it's like telling two people to talk to each other with a cell phone that neither has.

What are those 2 Operating systems then ?

Two O/S are win2K and win98

And yes I have IPx installed on both.

Any suggestions.

Big thanks in advance
