Resolved thanks to another member at another forum!
Hello, I'm new at this and I'd like to play Counter Strike, AOE2, Americas Army, etc. with my little brother from my PC to his. Well I bought a NetGear 5-port Fast Ethernet Switch 10/100mbps FS605 v2, 25ft CAT6, and 7ft CAT6. My friend on IRC was helping me set it up and I made a new connect to my brothers PC and now his wont sign online. Well, I called NetGear and they said that switches still need a modem to play and I heard from the employees at Staples and many people on the internet say I dont need the internet. Well, I loaded up CS and made a game but my brothers CS cant see my server in the LAN tab. I dont know if its the firewalls, both ethernet lights are on. So can you anyone help me?
