Age of Empires: Rise of Rome compatibility issue

Hi all,
i'm trying to play multiplayer on this game through a home network. when i create a game i cant find it when i search through another vista running computer it doesn't appear. when i run 2 XP running computers (which are no longer with us), it works fine through those (using a wi-fi connection) and through vista i have tried Wi-fi and ethernet connection, but still no luck. i have minimized the game to unblock the windows firewall for the network accessing, but still no luck. i tried running the game in compatibility mode in both 98/ME and XP and still, again, no luck. i'm out of ideas !

i should probably add that a few months ago i tried running it through 1 XP PC and 1 Vista PC and it didn't work on there either.

i really like this game. can anyone think of anything else?
thanks,
luke

Have you tried "run as administrator" by right clicking the game's exe?

Re: Age of Empires: Rise of Rome compatibility issue

I got the trial version working with my wifi home network.

1. First make sure both Vista computers detect each other [example]

2. If they do not then enable network discovery and file sharing on both computers [example]

3. Vista should then detect the other computer, if it still doesn't then make sure your network is setup correctly.
