i have a hub here at my house. every once in a while i put up a dedicated server on my laptop for hle. the server is like 1 foot away, but i can never connect through lan. it shows in lan games when i start halflife, but connects through internet always. i have ipx installed, and i set frame type to 802.3. (chi told me to do this a long time ago and it always fixed the problem.) i can share files over the network between the two computers. i can't find any reason why i can't connect through lan. any ideas?

is the server using the defaukt poet [27015]?

if so try changing it because your client will use that port also

would that matter even though they're 2 different computers?
i'll try that though
