Network game

I have been trying to play "Unreal Tournament" over my home network, using Windows Vista on all three computers.
None of the computers can connect to the others to join the game.
However, if I boot Win XP in one of the computers and create a game, the other vista ones see and join the game.
Soldier of fortune does not have any problem with Vista at all.
My Norton internet security is set to allow Unreal on all of the computers.
My question is why do the Vista computers only see Unreal when it is created on the XP machine.
If I create the game in a Vista machine, the XP does not see it.
The network performs well in all other tasks.

Thank you

Jack

Uninstall Norton and use the Windows firewall and a free antivirus/antispyware such as AVG 8.0.
