    Network is all over the place!

    Ok this is situation

    Win XP on both PCs connecting via crossover cable into 2 ethernet cards.

    Ping tests proove no time outs

    File sharing possible but on and off

    Games quit randomaly within first 4 minutes or so of play


    Is there any good network "doctor" software that can help as I am not an expert with packets and snort and stuff.

    Problem... WinXP...

    There's really no easy answer here. But do try the following:

    * Check the cable if you have a cable tester, or if not, try another cable.

    * Make sure that all firewalls are configured correctly on both sides (if you have firewalls running). They should be configured to allow most netBios communications.

    * Check to make sure that games on each side have the same patches installed.

    Hope this helps.

    thanx

    There is no firewalls on turned of XP ones as well

    I haven't got a cable tester but I have checked with a few more leads, one i know definitly works.. also I should mention that the other PC can surf the net with no problems

    so it appears to be something else but my PC is really confusing me at the moment
