I have an xp desk top and a vista laptop. I have tried to play multiplayer AOM but the computers can not find either host game even if I type in the IP address. I can share files from computer to computer but the game will not work. Any Ideas on what to do next?

Hi, Please disable the firewall on both machines and check the result. If the issue resolved, please refer to the following article to open the network ports required for Age of Mythology multiplayer game: Age of Mythology: Network Ports Required for Multiplayer Game http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331410/ If disabling the firewall doesnt solve the issue, I suggest that you submit the issue to Game Discussion Group. The support professionals there are better qualified to assist you.
