Cannot see games on LAN UDP

terrytree 25 Posts June 29 2017 18:01 GMT #1 My friend and I were trying to play some broodwar over LAN. It was working fine literally an hour ago, but now, when I create a game, it does not appear in his lobby, and vice-versa. We are both on wireless network connected to the same router. We are both updated to the latest patch. I've been combing through the internet for the last hour without success. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have no idea how or why this would work, but while I was tinkering around with the adapter settings, I clicked bridge connections between my wireless adapter and my ethernet adapter. (Wireless adapter is connected to the internet, but I have nothing connected in my ethernet port.) Bridge adapter thing pops up and I promptly deleted it, and then gave SC BW UDP another go. By some miracle, I can see the game on the other computer, but I still can't see the games that are hosted by the other computer. I go do the same thing on the other computer (set up a bridge between wireless and ethernet adapters and delete it) and then suddenly both computers can see and join games hosted by the other. Perhaps more tech-savvy person knows what happened here, but all I know is that broodwar gods have answered our prayers.
