Till yesterday I was playing AOE3 in multiplayer LAN with my brother ( LAN through WIFI ) and it was perfectly smooth.

Today I installed The Asian Dynasties expansion pack on both the systems and I don't see any hosted games detected by this expansion pack. I tried connecting to a specific IP directly, but it is of no use. I am not able to play on LAN with Asian Dynasties installed.

What might be the problem?

It works fine for me most of the time, but I have experienced this problem before. Doing the standard disconnecting and reconnecting and/or restarting the computer fixes it though. – Ullallulloo Feb 6 '11 at 0:17
It did not work for me even once. The hosted game is not visible in the other computer in the LAN. What might be the problem? – Vivek Feb 9 '11 at 16:21

I fixed it. I used Hamachi and it resolved my problem.

I downloaded AOE3Loader from here and then I created a new network using Hamachi. I gave the NetworkID and Password of this Hamachi network to my friends so they could join the network. I then opened AOE3Loader to run the game. It will show the Hamachi IP instead of local IP, and then it works.

May I suggest you explain a little more what you did to solve the problem? It may help other people in the future. – jmfsg♦ Feb 10 '11 at 14:51
