but when he tried to connect to me he cant.
I have disabled all of Xp's firewall crap, but with no result.
the error he gets is:
"Could not complete connection attempt to server"
And on my PC it sais "<username> timed out"
Im using an intel card while hes got a 3com.
PC specs dont matter cause it worked before, and this happened after a re-installation of his Windows 98 SE.
I use XP pro Sp1.
Thnx for your help

Have you tried using different ports, specifying which port to use on the shortcut's command line? I know HL/CS can be picky... Also, you both do have the same version, and different cd keys, right?
I don't remember exactly, but you have to modify the shortcut properties. I'll check when I get home.
ya know, now that i think about it, i believe i had this problem with Q3A
except when trying to join from the one computer it would lock up and i'd
have to restart, the problem was resolved when i changed NIC's, however,
since you said that the nic's work fine i would suggest trying a different
pci slot in the affected machine. other than that i dunno what to tell you
other than to drop Win98SE (its gay) and move to WinXP.
