"Error joining session" in network game of scrabble.

Hi all,

I have a small home network of three Windows XP Home edition PCs which are
connected via a Linksys wireless router to the internet via broadband. To
make it easier I have named the computers thus:

'Neo' is a desktop attached to the router by a cable.
'Trinity' is a wireless laptop connected via wireless to the router.
'Morpheus' is a brand new desktop that I have just connected to the network
via a cable.

In all other respects, the machines can see each other and the internet and
I have no problems with any other program except Infogames Scrabble v2.

When I have loaded scrabble on Trinity and am hosting the game, the other
player on 'Neo' can see the session and can connect to the session and
there is no problem with playing the game. The same happens when hosting on
'Neo' and joining on 'Trinity'.

The problem is with the new machine, Morpheus. On Morpheus, I can load the
game and can see the sessions on the other machines but when I try and join
them I get the 'error joining session' message and cannot join. If I try
and host on Morpheus then the sessions can be seen on the other machines
but they get the same error when trying to join the session.

Morpheus is a new machine that replaced an old machine where I had Scrabble
loaded and there were no problems.

Any insight will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
