Vista - LAN connection

Hi,

I'm having a friend over right now and he brought his laptop

We would like to play World in Conflict against eachother LAN.


We both have connection to the internet (so we are clearly connected to my router)

But when I make a server on the game, he can't see it, so there must be something missing?


Can someone please help me (We both use Windows Vista Home Premium)

It sounds like a firewall issue. If you have a software firewall active, you will need to make sure that the nessecary prots are open.

I checked and hamachi has permission to connect to the internet;

But it can't even ping the other computer - even though it has permission

The other computer might have a firewall on it preventing pings. Internet access and hosting are 2 different things. If you are hosting, your machine would need some ports open for the client machine to see. According to Sierra's support site:

What are the ports for World in Conflict to play Online when using a firewall?

The following ports need to be opened when using a firewall device:

TCP 3004
UDP 48000-48100
