Does anyone have a way to allow AgeII: Conquerors to run multiplayer? I
can't host or connect to a lan game with a Vista computer. It appears to
time out. When connecting to a different computer hosting the game, it will
show up on the screen as the player name on the hosting computer but any
selection for team and race won't show. After a while, it says it could not
join.
So far, I have gone into the firewall program control and given it access
and am doing run as administrator.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just curious, did you try turning off the Windows Firewall altogether?

I have and it still does not work. What has changed in Vista TCP/IP that
would have broken this? It seems like it can't send outgoing packets - thats
where this error is occuring.

Don, I had success on this I think the key was installing the LLTD responder
on the XP machine. How ever I also got the latest directx updates for the
Vista machine.

I'm having the same problem. Did the LLTD update on my XP and Directx
is good on both but had no joy. Still can't join the Vista and XP on
AGE II via local lan. Curiously though multiplayer on the same 2
machines works fine running Age III. No way though will I give up on
my favorite AGE II. There's got to be a way! I'm missing something.
Has this worked for any others?
