Hey everyone,
I recently attended a LAN Party at my friend's place and I was a little disturbed that I could not connect to anyone over the network and vice versa through windows, whereas the games that we played worked fine.
Anyway, when I got there everything worked and ran just fine, I could see other people on the network and transfer files to and from them without any problems. Than all of a sudden, I try to connect and it doesn't work. It doesn't make sense to me...I have the same network protocols installed as everyone else, I have an internet connection, I just can't see the other people on the network...Can anyone help?
..I have had this problem before, but I determined that having extra network protocols installed seemed to interfere with my ability to interact with the network. I removed any extra network protocols before attending, hence it working for a time.
