Firstly make sure your firewall isn't the problem.

IIRC, RA2 still uses IPX for its networking so make sure you have it installed.
If you still have trouble, in the IPX settings change the internal network number to be the same for both machines, and change the frame type from "auto detect" to 802.3 on both machines.
