oneway communication?

hihi
i tried to build an orion lan at home and with your help i finally managed to get no comm failure in the dos version under xp pro
but first there was still no communication at all untill i had the idea to deactivate the laptop's wlan adapter (i'm connected with cable)... i guess this ancient program does not know the existance of multiple network adapters and took the wrong one
but now it seems that there is only communication in one direction: i have 2 computers; the mentioned laptop and a desktop. if i start a langame on the desktop the game will be displayed on the laptop but when i join it there the desktop does not learn about that and still tells me about only '1 player has joined the game'...
if i start a game with the laptop as host, it won't even be displayed in the available games screen on the desktop...
what is this?? what have i done? has it something to do with this wlan adapter? i'm out of ideas - please help me
thx, nireus
btw, i have another problem, but it's not serious; i usually start my laptop from hibernate but then moo has graphic errors; i can't see anything - there is just chaos on the screen
when i restart the laptop everything is ok...
this problem only shows up with the dos version and only on the laptop
