    I play Battlefront II and I can't see any LAN games. I can see Internet games, all other computers can see.

    Is there something going on that I'm missing?

    What game is battlefront? If you mean Star Wars Battlefront 2 then sorry this isn't the right place to ask about this type of question. But I'll still help you for the sake of it. Do you have network discovery on? Go into the Control panel and go into network and internet. You'll find the settings in there. Also do you have port forwarding on for SWB2?
