Try hosting it on the Win98 computer and connecting to the server with the XP computer.

You're asking several questions at the same time, I was answering your most recent one. But, don't fool yourself, if you can't connect to the computer ... at all ... you wont be able to connect to it from with in the game either.

I got it working! Turns out all I needed to do was run the server while the WinXP firewall was turned off. So yea thats cool. I guess the popcorn goes to Crono.

I am way to tired to read all this but, if you only have two computers, and you need them hooked together for HL1, you can use a cross over cable. You specifically need to request one from the store, because its not the same as the cable you use from your modem/routers.

Secondly, if its ONLY a lan game, you can use the same CD key. Just stay offline.

lastly, we have debated the copy right thing, to death. WE ALL USE BORROWED CONTENT, but Snarkpit will NOT promote doing so. Its pretty basic and simple.

Lets just accept that the powers said this is the way it is and lets just keep doing what we want without typing it out in a post.

That way, you're happy and so is Snarkpit.

Perhaps, instead of writing a post while tired ... you should have waited until you weren't tired and could read less than three paragraphs of text. You would have noticed that every 'point' you just made has already been covered and exhausted. Night, night!

I'm glad you found your solution.

Perhaps.

Consider it a confirmation then. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">
