XP Does not detect Vista-hosted LAN Games

I've tried everything I can think of; disabling IPv6, LLTD, installing the
LLTD patch on xp, turning off all firewalls, file sharing, etc.. Nothing
seems to work.

I'll start a listen game server on the vista computer because it's mine and
it's much more powerful than the XP computer. When I try to find a server on
the LAN browser, nothing come up. If I host from the XP machine, the Vista
one can see and connect to the XP's server. However, this method costs frames
and gameplay, so hosting a game on the Vista computer is the more viable
idea. This happens in every game.

What could I do to fix this?

Have you enabled sharing on Vista? Can you ping it by IP? Or check this
link.

Vista sharing issuesSolved: Vista sharing - Access denied ... To share a
folder, ... Cases: Can't share between Vista and XP ... Both Vista and XP
have been enabled the file ...

Sharing is enabled on the Vista machine. I can ping and access shared folders
both ways, but I can't host any LAN games on the Vista machine so that the XP
machine can join.

Hi Try this m8 i had same problem with rainbow 6 vegas. after hours of
serching i found this and now mine works. Good Luck =).

The Vista to XP Lan Games connection problems Solution!!

After trying to play several different lan games with my Vista equipped
machine and not being able to join I finally found the way to make it
work!! OH JOY! SO many forums browsed in vain. Finally I found it. For
all of you, the problem was ipV6.

To fix that problem you need to disable ipv6:

1- Open the Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel on the
Vista equipped machine

2- Click on the little blue letters "View Status" next to your LAN
connection (my wireless connection for me)

3- Then click on the Properties button (not wireless properties or
anything else, just properties)

4- Click continue on the little annoying pop-up vista window if any

5- Now look for the field under "this connection uses the following
items" there with Client for Microsoft Networks/QoS Packet Scheduler
etc. You should find many of those with little checkboxes next to them.

6- Now i'm not very sure if it's only ipV6 that you need to disable, so
to make sure, do steps 1-5 with you XP equipped machine to check what
they have in that field, and keep the checkboxes checked for only those
items. Uncheck everything else. I uncheked Internet Protocol Version 6
(TCP/IPv6) , and the two Link-Layer ones.

7- Try again to join your lan game it should work fine.





Let me know if this helps ya.
