Hi
I have the games Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 5 and I played both of them often with a friend. We connected to my internet router with a lan cable. Then we started the games and I opened a lan server.

A few days ago we wanted to play. So I started a server but my friend couldn't find the server. We tried to restart both computers but there was the same problem. After a long time of trying my friend opened the server and I could join.


But why can't he find the server anymore?

Thanks

This may have something to do with using the same license on the 2 computers.

I've had that problem too a long time ago, I have no idea why it happens. Maybe it's a router issue, some ports have to be disabled.

As the above stated, "might be the same license", but then it should'nt work at all
