Archived from groups: alt.games.delta-force (More info?)

Can someone tell me why Delta Force Land Warrior takes around 20-45 mins to
join a lan game.

Someone must have managed to get around this problem.
all my other multiplay games work ok.

I have 2 computers connected via wireless peer to peer.
I start the the host computer then join with the other but it takes anything
up to 45 mins before it joins a game.

I can play a internet game and it joins straight away.

Both computer are running Windows XP Home Ed

Hope someone can help.

TIA
Simon

Nope, not 100 times slower.. It was after one of the updates (IIRC the last
one).
