Open LAN not working anymore for mount and blade warband

[saturn1]

I have played mount and blade warband, fire and sword, and VC alot and really enjoy them. I own them on steam. As well as singleplayer I have in the past enjoyed hundreds of hours on LAN. Along with several others on the steam forms for your game I am now unable to play the game LAN. If I setup a LAN server and my brother right next to me tries to connect it says he has been banned from the server. If he sets it up and I try to join it says I have been banned from the server. Is there any way to setup a LAN server anymore?? I setup a steam form and quite a few other people have this issue as well now.

I have tried switching out LAN cables, resetting the ethernet adapter, updates, uninstalling and reinstalling the games and nothing seems to work. I used to play it LAN with my brother all the time until recently when it stopped working.

This is reported multiple times in the last few months. Unfortunately no fix for it is presented yet.

Warband is now broken. Wish they never released that dumb sequel.
