me and my freinds tryed to play lan against eatchother at AoE 3 and i
worked, but we all had laptops so the game was to good for ou
compiuters. So we decided to play some old games instead so we trye
AoE 2. but when we host a lan game we cant find eatchother
servers.

it is no problem with the router so we figured that vista might be th
problem, annyone know how to fix this problem so we can play

AOE2 doesn't do the Firewall registration necessary to host a game
automatically, so you probably need to do it manually.
