i havent browse through this thread but i have problem connecting with my pc next to me...like my pc could not find the next pc's ip in the lobby (be it online or offline)

i mean
i've been managing this thing for years (counter strike,generals,wacraft 3 and stuffs at home)

its sad cuz all this while, all those games above were pirated and ran pretty well

these battlefield 2's are original cd's
what do you think the problem is
cuz when i clicked network connections, i could still copy and paste or manage stuffs in the other pc next to me..

can anyone help?

hope this is the right place
