Gaming on Home network

I have a laptop with WinXP and a desktop with Win98se. I have set up a network between the two through a high speed hub. I want to play my sons in some first person shooters and was wondering how I could set it up to do so.
Thanks

If there is a peer to peer version of the game you should be able to connect to the other computer and play. If it requires a server, one of the computers can do that and enable you both to play. If you need a server, use the faster computer with the most memory.

hi to all again i hope you all or as we say down south ya'll are ok . last week i went to the local flea mkt and they had some cheeep pc's there and i bought one for $40, everything complete system pc mon printer speakers ect. took it home loaded my internet access and got on line and it worked fine. really slow a pent 133. so i decided i would use it for parts and add the hdd to mine. i did after i formatted it i used on-track utillities , the file undeleter to see what was left on it after the wipe. well needless to say there were several porn files jpg and mpeg. i tried to delete it but it came back up with the file undeleter, how do i get this trash off of here. i also found some files on my old pc as well. how can i remove these files completly where the file undeleter wont find them again. i read that even if you format all it does is just move the files around and does not really remove them. i want a clean hard drive with no trash on it so i don't have to worry about my kids seeing it . i have installed IPROTECTYOU. and it works well, so i don't have to worry about them getting it on the net. thanksRead More
