I ran into this problem tryong to setup 2 computers on my home network ton
playRA2, but it's gone way beyond that. What's happning is neither of the
computers can see each other execpt in network places. To give some details
I;m running Windows XP Pro SP2 on my laptop and Windows Home (not sure of
SP) on my tower PC. the NIC on the Tower is a Linksys 10/100 & the NIC on
the laptop is a Realtek RTL8139 networked through a Linksys BEFW11S4 V.2
router. I've entered the MAC adresses for the cards in RA2 but don't know
the port # to enter. With DXDiag the network tab reports no problem but
dosen't see the other PC when I try to run a Direct Play session. I've
managed to setup a VPN connection where the Tower can connect to the Laptop
but can't get the Laptop to connect to the PC. Both computers can share
files and printers through Network places, but sofar that's the only PC to
PC connection I've gotten to work right. The main thing I need an answer to
is how to find the right port numbers to set for RA2, but getting answers to
the Direct Play & VPN problems would be a bouns.
