here....i think i know the problem...but i cant find the solution....
I use windows XP SP 2 ...Asus motherboard..
I use integrated Ethernet port (NVIDIA nforce controller) to connect to the hostel LAN and used the same connection
to get internet (using proxy). I played counter-strike without any problem...

Everything worked fine until i took a direct ADSL internet connection...
So i installed a separate ethernet card (INTEX rtl8139D) which i use to connect to the internet...

So now i have two LAN ports ...one for internet and one for LAN...
The problem is...i cant connect to any counter-strike servers created on LAN...
Disabling the internet connection allows me to connect to the cs servers...

I think the reason why this is happening is :
CS is trying to use my internet port to connect to the LAN server....so it is failing...

so how do i specify which port is for internet and which is for LAN...
or i guess the applications themselves decide which one to use...and CS isn't able to do so correctly.....
I use XP...if there is a setting in CS (i searched but i didn't find any) that needs to be changed ...then please let me know...
My internet works...i can play FIFA on LAN ...but only CS has got some problem with it....

sorry...i wasn't here for a couple of months....now i m back
i can just hope that you read this....
so you have an internal lan card and you want an extra one i.e external.
you need to buy one...here in india it will cost you around Rs 200-250
then just install it into your PCI slots , install the drivers and then its ready for use.
no big deal about it.......
