I just installed Vista. AOE runs fine, but won't recognize the multiplayer
game on the XP. XP can't find the multiplayer game if I start it on Vista.

3rd computer on LAN running XP works fine with other XP computer.

Any suggestions?

Did you set up the network sharing on Vista? If not, you need to do so.
Since you haven't told us what you've already tried - if anything - here
is an excellent site that takes you through setting up Vista sharing
step-by-step:

Thanks for the help. That got them connected. However, the game works on both
computers individually, but when I conect the Vista to the XP it keeps
hanging up for a few seconds at a time. Any suggestions on that?

Since no one here plays that game, I can't answer your question. I would
suggest posting to 1) the microsoft games newsgroup (see below); 2) any
forums available for the game (Google for them); 3) looking on the
game's tech support site for known issues, patches, workarounds, etc.
