Can't game or share internet, everything else works.

Networking and broadband talkabout. Need help with that new router or setting up a network?

Can't game or share internet, everything else works.

W2K systems, all 3

I have checked the settings and they all apear to be set up the same and correct.

1 system (wifes) has a modem and is only one we use to surf the net but I recently wanted to setup Net sharing so I can get online from mine for a short time through the lan. Mine has a Linksys 10/100 wireless card. I think wifes is 10/100 linksys with cat5 cable. Have not got net sharing to work yet between these two.

Mine and wifes will play UT2 through the lan so kid and I can play 2 player using wifes system, also warcraft 2 battlenet works fine.

Kids system is a Shuttle AK35 or something like that, Linksys 10/100 cat 5 cable I think. Hers will play Warcraft with either system through the lan, but Not UT2 or another similar game, Kids system will never see a game started on either of the other two systems. And of course other systems do not see a game started on hers. So we can only play warcraft with her system on the lan.

Everything else seems to be working fine, copy files and print from any system to any system. Each system has a different printer of it's own so we have printed in any combination of system/printer through the lan.

I have compared network settings on the wifes and kids systems, they look to have all the same stuff installed and should work the same but only mine and the wifes can connect with UT2, kids system won't connect with either.

At first I thought the problem would be in my wireless system but it's not now that I installed UT2 on the wifes I can se that. And both the kid and wife system have cat5 cable, pretty sure the same type network cards, both linksys 10/100.
