Windows vista firewall and Multiplayer issues

[Guest]

I recently bought a new comp with windows vista and am having
trouble getting a multiplayer game of age of empires 1 going. I'm pretty
sure its the vista firewall and not my router because i had no problem
getting the game going on my old computer which ran XP.
Age of empires is listed and checked in my firewall exceptions. I
can see multiplayer games but get timed out when trying to join. If i create
a game others cannot even see it. I'm using the Tcp/ip option for
connection.
Please help.

Ice,

Can you give any more details...

What is the make & model of router?
Are you having trouble over a LAN connection or just Internet?

Please check if the publisher has still servers available to play on.
This game is old. Perhaps the cancelled its support.
Any games on gamespy? Just a thought I had...
