I found the following *closed* thread, which describes my problem-
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...zen+bubble+lan
but I don't know what they mean by changing nickname. Do I need to change my login name? Also, I have NFS file sharing, but have disabled my samba windows network, so nothing shows up in there. I still see a Windows Network within my Network Places, but nothing within that, because neither comp is set up to be a wins server. We have a lap and a desktop running Feisty. Can we have a LAN game without samba? I'm really new to networking. The problem we have is exactly as described in the linked thread - starts to create a server, goes back to main screen. Other comp sees no server and tries to start one.
Thanks.
