I have two pc's networked using a crossover cable. One is
using win2000 the other xp. I can see and access files in
network neighbourhood but when i play games the two
computers dont see each other. I have tried a ping test
which times out. I have used the automatic ip addresses
under my tcp/ip properties. What is likely to be going
wrong

This thread is getting a little confusing. After I suggested that you
should turn off your firewall, you said that you did turn it off but
that the problem persisted.

One hour later you said that it worked perfectly.
