Why don't you play Crosslink? That'll keep you occupied for a bit.

Do you have the correct plug-ins installed? Do you have a firewall?

Maybe you need to update your internet.

Or get a new one - I hear they're going cheap at Argos.

Sure is! Though as long as people don't use Internet Exploder, I'm happy.

You're being WAY unclear. You not being able to play network or internet games would basically mean that you don't have an internet or network connection, which is obviously not the case, because you're talking right now. Be more clear!

The problem he had before was that his parents were restricting the sites he could visit, if I remember correctly. So, if they blocked a nifty game site, there's not much we can fix

Mildly deranged. 
I can't begin to imagine how awful it would be to have only the actual CONTENT of a web page to look at.

Lynx lynx ftw!

I attempted to try browser lynx once but just getting it to work seemed like too much trouble so I shift-deleted it instead. I'm not a ducking linux user, I don't want to read a dozen help files before I can get something to work! ( )

That browser still exists, and it's very useful if you don't want to be distracted by pictures or irritating flash animations. In fact, I'm using it right now

And it has colours, btw.

I prefer Links over Lynx. But I'm sure Lynx is dandy as well. In any case, if a web site does not look good in text-only browser, it's not a good web site. That very fact is a simple test for how good a website is.

Real lurkers don't appear on the lurkers list. 
I recall one day I couldn't play a particular net game, while I could surf the web.
If the Game Port isn't set correctly, games over the net usually don't work.
