I've received a package called DOOMSER.ZIP which includes files that will 
supposedly allow me to play Doom over a serial (null-modem) cable.  
Included are PDETHER, ETHERSL, LSL, IPXODI, and maybe some other files...
However, I tried this out at my friend's place, had the null modem hooked
up to COM2 on both machines (and yes we specified COM2 and the correct IRQ
settings), however, when we try to run NetDOOM, the program just exits 
after it says "Looking for players"..  I noticed that both machines had 
the same network identifier.. Is this a problem ?  If so, how can I 
correct it?  (I really know very little about networks)..
 
Thanks in advance...
