multiplayer LAN games

I would like to be able to play against my son on his PC, against mine in
the same house.
We have a Net2Plug connection which allows us to share files. Is it possible
to play the multiplayer LAN games against each other? I tried to set up a
game but it kept coming up with either Version mismatch and when I updated
both or games to v1.04 it said something about a CRC error. what am I doing
wrong or is it not possible.

Thanks in advance for any help

The type of the connection should not make a difference. There should be no
problem; the fact you got a "version mismatch" error implies the instances
of the game were able to communicate. The problems you are experiencing are
probably either specific to the game or caused by firewalls.

It might help if you provided more details, ie the name of the game and
exactly what you have tried since ensuring the games are patched to the same
version.
