Previously i played games in lan without no problems but few days ago all of sudden out of the blue my games doesnt want to work with lan anymore.Its like they cant find the network.whats weirder is some games it still may work and in dxdiag directconnect test i could connect easily so here my dxdiag report: DirectPlay Service Providers DirectPlay8 Modem Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.2600.2180) DirectPlay8 Serial Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.2600.2180) DirectPlay8 IPX Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.2600.2180) DirectPlay8 TCP/IP Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.2600.2180) Internet TCP/IP Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: OK, File: dpwsockx.dll (<File Missing> ) IPX Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: OK, File: dpwsockx.dll (<File Missing> ) Modem Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: OK, File: dpmodemx.dll (<File Missing> ) Serial Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: OK, File: dpmodemx.dll (<File Missing> ) DirectPlay Voice Wizard Tests: Full Duplex: Not run, Half Duplex: Not run, Mic: Not run DirectPlay Test Result: Not run Registry: OK ------------------- DirectPlay Adapters ------------------- DirectPlay8 Serial Service Provider: COM1 DirectPlay8 Serial Service Provider: COM2 DirectPlay8 IPX Service Provider: IPX Adapter 1 - (00000000,00301B369C47) DirectPlay8 TCP/IP Service Provider: Local Area Connection 4 - IPv4 - ----------------------- DirectPlay Voice Codecs ----------------------- Voxware VR12 1.4kbit/s Voxware SC06 6.4kbit/s Voxware SC03 3.2kbit/s MS-PCM 64 kbit/s MS-ADPCM 32.8 kbit/s Microsoft GSM 6.10 13 kbit/s TrueSpeech(TM) 8.6 kbit/s ------------------------- DirectPlay Lobbyable Apps ------------------------- A_SuddenStrike (DX7) - Registry: OK, ExeFile: game_exe.exe (<File Missing> ) Cossacks (DX7) - Registry: OK, ExeFile: dmcr.exe (1.00.0000.0001) Seven Kingdoms 2 (DX7) - Registry: OK, ExeFile: 7k2.exe (<File Missing> ) Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast (DX7) - Registry: OK, ExeFile: jk2mp.exe () It says something is missing but i think i have all files so whats wrong then?

what type of network are you connecting to? you still have ineternet connectivity?

umm its lan network and i still have net i guess...

LAN is an acronym of Local Area Network and not a specific, there are too many different setups/types to list. So you dont know for sure whether you have internet connectivity? How do you connect to the internet? cable/dsl/DUN/etc? This si going to be difficult to troubleshoot if you arent able to provide basic information.

wow i solved it something had changed my registry so that it targeted wrong path to my directplay files so omg its ok now
