Anyone here know how to configure a Gateway so one can use a conversion cable to connect two computers? My friend has a Gateway, I have a Systemax. I take my computer to another friend's house and connect to his network no problem. I went and bought a conversion cable to link my friend's and my computers together. (I had also previously tried a hub connection, which also failed.)
We are trying to play C&C Generals. When connected, we can see each other's computer names in the lobby, but it always times out when we try to connect. Any thoughts?
I logged onto Gateway's website for support, to which after waiting 30 minutes, was told to call some stupid support line ($1.95/minute) becuase it was configured wrong. Isn't tech support for configure problems?
Anyway....anyone here have any ideas how to configure the damn thing so it can work right? I appreciate any help.

PS. Feel free to flame and hijack, provided I can at least get some sort of answer somewhere along the lines. Thanks.
