Hi!

I have read about this problem here before, but no solution found yet. So I hope someone else could help me here!

The following situation:
4 computer network, 3 work PC's, one download/mp3/printer server.
This problem is about the 3 work pc's.
They are all connected through my Alcatel Speedtouch ADSL modem with CAT5. Except for one, wich is connected to the same modem with Wireless.
All 3 computers are running XP Pro SP2.

Problem:
When trying to use the 3 computers to play a Red Alert 2 LAN game, 2 of them (connected with CAT5) have no problems. But the Wireless connected one, can't see the other 2, and they won't see the wireless one. (only via IPX, via the other things such as sharing/internet everything works well). I've have installed IPX on every machine, and tested everything using the DXDIAG directplay tester. I also used the settings in EA support, allthough they where a little vague to me, maybe I did something simple wrong there? Maybe (probably) it is in my modem?

Please help me! This stinks this way!

i have the exact same problem!
i have 4 comps:
2 PC connected to router D-Link DL524
1 LG laptop (wireless)
1 PC (wireless)

all running Windows XP SP-1
all has IPX enabled and configed as EA sais (802.3 , 12345678 ...)

prob is, in red alert 2, i cant see the wireless ones in the network lobby ...
i selected the correct cofig in the setup/network screen and everything is as supposed.

the thing is, that when i connect the wireless comp with a cable (very uncomftable in my house) i can play with all the 4 of them!

anyone has any idea whats the problem with wireless and ipx ?!?! ??
