I have connected 2 pc's on home network, both running WindowsXP.
I installed Quake 3 Arena on on both pc's. When I start the game on both
pc's and select multiplayer to play against someone on the client computer I
get No Server Found message.
I am new to this home network thing, but everything else works OK, file &
printer sharing and internet connection sharing. I thought it would be just
a case of starting the game on both pc's and selecting multiplayer.
Appreciate any help.
