LAN connection problems with BF1942 and others

Hello,

I've been trying to set up a LAN session for various games and I've
been having some minor problems. I have two machines and sometimes I
can host a game on machine A and Machine B can't see it, but if
Machine B hosts, machine A can see it. Has anyone seen something like
this and if so, what things can I try to fix it?

Thanks,
* Robinson

What is your network setup? Are you running a firewall?

Two machines hooked up to a hub (probably not the answer you're
looking for). I have the XP default firewall, but I have already
taken the steps to allow the games to go through.
