LAN server wont show in list

Archived from groups: alt.games.quake3 (More info?)

Greetings,

I was trying to setup a multiplayer game of Q3TA on my LAN, however, the
server would not appear on the other computer. Both computers are Win98SE
and have TCP/IP installed. I have previously got all my games to work over
the LAN, including Q2. I shutdown Zone Alarm on both computers also, but to
no avail. To the best of my knowledge, the server started correctly (I can
play on it).

Can anyone help please?

Unfortunately, that causes the computer to freeze with looping sound. All I
can do is move the windows mouse (not the Quake one); not even Ctrl-Alt-Del
works.
