    3 things could be happening -

    1. you may need to re-install the network driver

    2. the net port could be bad - which means you would have to buy a pcmcia net card

    3. something might be screwed up - download winsock fix - run the software, restart the computer and that should fix it.

    in case you want to play on LAN yet you do not understand a thank you to connect interior the direction of the internet, you should use a application referred to as Hamachi, otherwise if there isn't any internet in any respect, i don't think of there is LAN the two, sorry.
