Thanks for you replies.
I installed IPX in Win98 (Win2000 already had it).  The funny thing is that
when I run the game in both PCs, the Win98 PC knows there are two players
(it
says "Found 2 players"). But the Win2000 doesn't detect it.  So I assume
that's why the game never starts and I keep getting the dots ("...") on my
screen.
And both PCs see each other.

What could it be?

Thanks.
