Do I need a VPN to play AOE2 on the same LAN?
Trying to setup AOE2 HD game in order to play over LAN. I have several laptops connected via wi-fi by using home router. I create game on first laptop and trying to connect from another one. Second laptop not finds first one hosted game.
I suppose since I play on LAN, I don't need any additional tools like VPN in order to connect PC's. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
I was trying to run this game on two vmware virtual machines hosted on same PC. These machines connects to each other fine fine.
Can I somehow tell AOE2 first machine IP dress in order to find served game?
How to connect client AOE2 to server one?

Have you made sure your firewall isn't blocking the connections? Can you ping your PC from your laptop?

This article (ageofempires.com/news/how-to-host-a-lan-game-in-aoe-ii-hd) seems to suggest there is no direct connect option in the game, so I think you won't be able to directly specify the IP address... I'm not sure though, I don't own the game.
