and wots net view?

[Cam]

its got all 3 comps

[EUPHORiA]

u have different serials on them right?

[Cam]

as differ xp codes? the xp home is the other 2 anit but y wont 1 work with games and the other does?

[Aido]

i think euphoria means different cd keys for the game - what game is it anyway?

is it all games that don't work on the lan or just one?

it looks from what you posted that you're using internet connection sharing in xp.

when you're trying to use these games is it just for lan play it doesn't work or are you trying to get them all to connect to an internet server cam?

[Macca_uk]

A good site to help you out is http://www.practicallynetworked.com/

How have you got em all hooked up?

router or the cheapo way?
