[s18000rpm]

TRUST_MATCH=%%bind("159.153.253.82")

ADDR=%%bind("159.153.253.82")

replace those IP addrs. with your PC's (in both files)

TRUST_MATCH=%%bind("your IP")

ADDR=%%bind("your IP")

like 192.168.1.100

--------------

& make sure you have v1.3 patch installed

[speedyguy]

Hey I'm having a similar problem with Age of Empires III:

1) LAN works. I can access files/folders from each other. Internet is also shared.
2) When I go to MultiPlayer>LAN> in the game menu, it offers to unblock my connection from the Windows Firewall.
3) When I host a game, sometimes it shows on the other end, sometimes it does not. Even when it shows, it goes not allow me to 'join' the game.
4) Works perfectly when I create an AdHoc network using a Wireless connection (though wireless disconnects often cause of weak signal.)

Any solutions?

[s18000rpm]

try after Disabling the Firewall (at both ends).

[goobimama]

Disabling firewall doesn't give me the Wireless option as well...

[speedyguy]

in my case m not even able 2 share files/folders...i can share internet though...

@s18000rpm: thats still not working....i changed my ip address in cfg file...n both systems hv nfsmw v1.3

Enjoy~!

[saahil88]
