i have a windows 7 x86 dual core duo machine,my friend has an asus laptopt with winodws 8.we used to play lan multiplayer old games here in my house,with same connection(me using the lan cable,he using the wifi)for games such as half life,aliens vs predator 2 etc.strangely though,lately everytimes we start some lan matches,he cannot find the games i start,or vice versa,though we use the same lan connection.he stated that he didn't changed anything in the connection settings,neither have i,since we're not that tech savvy when concernening portforwarding and stuff.we tried also something more recent as counterstrike on steam,and same issue there.only one time,after countless tries,my friend's copy of cc managed to recognize the game i started,but as soon as he connected,he got another error about server not responding.what can i do?
