Set up LAN for gaming

[Guest]

Hi

I am trying to set up a LAN for playing some game's. I don't know anything
about networking and what I have tryed did not work. I tryed to create a
ethernet LAN network with two computers running XP Home with a Ethernet
Switch.

Would someone help me to find out what I am doing wrong.

Thankyou
