CNC YR LAN Connection fails

[thunderbeans]

I am trying to join a LAN game but am getting this error message

[8:28 PM] Connecting to the game failed! Message: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 192.168.2.72:1233

I have 2 computers on the same network but they can't connect. I have tried creating the game on both machines, and neither can connect. Both machines have the firewall disabled.

In the lan menu screen I can see both players and see the game but connection fails.

I am playing Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge.

Can anyone help.

Note: We can play by playing online but it would have been nice to connect locally via lan.
