Multiplayer LAN problem with AOE3 - The Asian Dynasties

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?

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.

try disabling windows firewall I also had same problem make sure you have disabled windows fire wall and other virus scanners in all the systems you have connected with.

I had a similar issue turns out that installing VirtualBox creates another network device that the game was trying to use by default. I used Device Manager to uninstall the device and now it works. Hope this is useful to someone.
