I have Windows XP and ran network setup wizard, but can't
join a LAN created game from another computer on my LAN.
It says the host client is newer than mine. I installed
some sort of upgrade from Microsoft's website and now I
can't even join into an internet game. Maybe if anyone
has any quick techniques I could check for, like setting
up a TCP/IP or disabling my IPX network somehow I would
appreciate it, thanks.
