Whenever I connect/host a two player game on my Vista machine, Locomotion just freezes. Firewall's disabled. Tried it as admin, XP compatibility and admin + XP compatibility.

Suggestions?

I guess I didn't make myself clear.
I'm on Vista trying to play over LAN. As soon as I click the "host game" or "join game" button, the game freezes completely and I have to ctrl+alt+del out of it.

It's running as an administrator process and my firewall's off.

That's not really a solution.

By the way, this happens on two of my computers - one is Vista 32 and the other Vista 64 - in exactly the same way. (Different Locomotion installs from different discs.)

What, if any, antivirus do you have? Try disabling it if you have one.
