When you manually set the IP addressess, I am assuming that you gave each one it's own identifcation number from 1 to 10 and all with the subnet 255.255.255.0.
Something like this:

System one: IP Address 192.168.10.1
System two: IP Address 192.168.10.2
System Three: IP Address 192.168.10.3
System two: IP Address 192.168.10.4
System two: IP Address 192.168.10.5

And so on. Please post what OS you are using. You will get responses from other members that are running the same OS. If you are running Win3.1 to WinME, I maybe able to help as I am familar with those OS's.

How exactly are the computers setup?
You run one Computer as a UT server and 2 as clients?
Are the UT server dedicated or do you also play on it?
What type of hub is it? Is it also a router so you share the internet connection?

Can each computer ping the others?
