Check patch cables for loose pins. Use a hub/switch instead of a serial cable...the speed will be much better.
If you want to load IP, go ahead. Then use your loopback test to check for configuration issues.
Will try, just waiting for the other computer to come into play....

first,
never use a public ip for a private pc so use something like 192.168.0.1 /255.255.255.0 for one pc, the other one should use any other address like 0.2 ....
definetively use a hub or switch, you'll get a better response time and a hub is realy cheap you can even find nic that are hubs ...
ps i love starcraft !!!!!!!!!!! used to be known there as rakov
I use tcp/ip .Make sure you have a check mark next to i want to use netbios over tcp/ip.Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 . This must be the same on both computers.
Set up your IP to something like 190.20.20.1 and on the other comp 190.20.20.2
I hope this helps
