Zero Hour LAN Party Lag

[Brick79411]

Hey guys, this is probably a common problem but here it goes anyway.

Im hosting a Lan party soon, and we'll be playing some Zero Hour. I expect having a maximum of 7 people playing at once. However, when we have played in the past, we have hit massive lag in the middle-to-late game. This lag really kills some of the fun. All computers playing are well above the requirements. What can I do to cure this?

The hosting computer's specs:

Sony VAIO VGN-NW350F/S Laptop Computer
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20GHz,
4GB DDR2,
320GB HDD,
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Let me know if you need anything else, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You're lucky to even get that far, I've been having some issues with needing to register my copy of the game,
but I'm "not allowed" to register it.. can't contact EA Games, because I need to be registered on their website, but guess what, can't register, won't let me..

So I come here and ask a question on the forums, but no one seems to have an answer to the problem, lol..
So I'm **** out of luck trying to get the Internet side of C&C Zero Hour to work.
