I had exactly the same problem when i tried to play the LAN game with a
friend of mine.
Just check if you use ipx on your network card (both machines) and disable
al other network card (also infrared ports)
and check in the LAN configuration options of RA2 if there is only one NIC
adres left and select this one.
Perhaps you have to restart the game.
There's no more fun than playing skirmish to someone else!

i hope it will work for you!

hm... its quite annoying.
after some matches 1on1, we wanted to play 2on2 (ra2). i had forgotten
a cd and so we tried to play with 3 original cds and one copy, buts it
didnt work. i could see my friends, but they couldns see each other.
after disabeling the other network cards we had the same problems.
are there any problem solvers?
what about serial numbers? is there a technical combination between
the serial number and the cd? can i see a cd with different serial
numbers?
