ok so im new to the fourm and new to networking forgive me.
ok here is my problem or should i say problems.
A) i have a new computer i built my self only a few months old, it has a nforce 4 mobo that came with nvidia firewall. a few days ago i pushed a button (oohh nooo) and my network secied to exsist.
my network conists of my internet gateway ( comp A ) connected to a hub ( that is like 10 years old ) that is connected to my computer.
i cannot recive my ip adress from my sisters comp (dchp). comes up with " unable to retreive ip adress" or something of that nature. then it goes to my manually set ip adress.:confused:
B) i have a freind over sometimes and we have mini lan partys. he has a dell laptop (one of the original xps's) that he connects to my hub we can ping each other, netview each other, but the only thing is (a)he cannot se my games but i can see his games, (b)he can host the games, but when i can host them he has to join via direct ip.
c) My friend and I like to play BF2, the problems above persist here as well.
but when i join his game i may be in it for like 1 to 3 minutes and get kicked out. i have looked on other fourms and it may be my mobo (nforce 4 mobo done like bf2 versions higher than 1.1.22) i would appreciate any info that my help that situation.
P.S. Im not computer illiterate but i would like it if you could put this is laymans terms for me. also sory is the post is too big.
