try a crossover cable between the two pc's.. if you haven't used a "short" network, it's simple.. on the pc use the servers clan settings as is. just make the pc match. use the default gateway setting of the server as the ip on the pc, and the and the ip of the server as the default gateway of the pc.. that makes a point to point, use either a crossover cable or a quick hub.. by doing that, you've removed all possible network problems.. you may just need a reboot of the cp server, i save that as a last resort. it might not hurt to disable the clan nic and enable it..
