I can not join a LAN game because in any game the host
server name is not shown when you try and search for one
but you can join by typing in the IP address of the host.

Do you know perhaps what could cause this?
 
Hi Kim,

Sounds like it's looking for the host on the internet instead
of in the LAN. If you disable the adapter that connects to
the net you can avoid that behaviour, but you're already
using the best workaround, which is to type in the IP. :-)
