Recently my network computers were upgraded to Windows XP and then to SP2.
Since then I have had trouble seeing any hosted games in the multiplayer
list. For example if one computer is hosting a game, another computer on the
LAN cannot see it anymore. Windows firewall popups would come up. I don't
want to completely turn off the firewall so I've tried specific program
exceptions. Allow the popups didnt come up again, we still couldn't see any
games. This didnt seem to work so I want to try to open a range of ports. How
do I go about this? Also if I do it on one computer do I still have to do it
for all the computers on the network?

Hi, I have the same problem. Can you please share the solution?
I'm running a wireless LAN. Everyone has XP+SP2. I have no idea what to
do. No one can "see" each other in the LAN server list no matter who makes
it.

Thanks for any help.
