Hi,

Have 2 PCs with XP. Both play Red Alert 2 fine. I'm trying to play a
multiplayer game. I have a parallel cable connecting them set up as an
"advanced" connection in XP.

If PC A connects to PC B then in Red Alert:
PC A: Sees just himself as listed players
PC B: Sees both players listed

If PC B connects to PC A then in Red Alert:
PC B: Sees just himself as listed players
PC A: Sees both players listed

I can't get them to both see eachother so I can't get a game started.

Ideas please!

Get a couple of Net cards, and use a crossover Ethernet cable.
