Has anybody been able to successfully play multiplayer lan games between an
xp box and a vista box?
I have tried it with Age of Empires II and Total Annihilation. Both games
play fine on single player but I can not launch a multiplayer game.
The two machines are networked through my router and are sharing an internet
connection and a printer. They can see each others shares no problem. I can
access files on either computer in either direction using file explorer.
But when I create a multiplayer game on either machine and try to connect to
it from the other machine I can not connect. I can see the game on the other
machine and the game tries to connect but eventually times out. The symptoms
are the same whether I create a game on the vista machine or on the xp
machine.
Has anybody else had this problem? Or rather, I should say has anybody been
able to successfully game over their lan with a vista machine and an xp
machine?
