TCP/IP OK, but can't network games

[Wabbit]

My home network of a winxp Pro machine (with Service pack
1), a win2000 laptop, and a win98 2nd edition machine
works just fine under tcp/ip. I can transfer files, etc
etc no problems. However when it comes to game playing,
the winXP machine will not connect to any of the other
machines. It fails the udp with a WSAECONNREFUSED message.
Any Suggestions?

Hi Wabbit,

Some games use IPX on a LAN. You can Add that
protocol in the properties of the network adapters.
