you have same DirectX on both PC ?
you also need to have stable connection between those PC's ... with ping less than 20ms between them

If that hadn't fixed it, I would have suggested using the IPX Protocol. Sometimes, as in my case, we can get a decent game speed going with different DirectX versions (The other computer gets funny colors though).
