2 computers sharing internet connection.

[Snide-Tiger]

Hello,

I have recently recruited my housemate to the cause.

Unfortuantely, if we both play at the same about 5 - 10 minutes into a game both game on both computers, the game freezes then we both log out of TAS Client and Spring crashes.

I assume some juggery pokery needs to be done with ports.

I just dont know how to change the port Spring uses by default.

Any help welcome :o)

Also, the game runs fine if we are in the same game.

Just when we play in diff battles.

Thx

Sorry for the no answering... I had thought what you were asking was impossible so I am frankly surprised it worked at all... because the connection is running through your NAT the NAT basically needs to establish a session or tunnel for the games connection... and eventually your router is expiring this session or getting confused by the traffic it's seeing...

If you are at all able to obtain an additional IP address from your ISP and then do a IP-bind to the private IP address of the second computer that is the only solution I can think would be reliable.

What type of internet connection are you using? What kind of router?

good idea.

it is cable with a belkin wireless router.

have been finding when my mate uses wireless to connect to the router, it seems to work. Which seems strange, but true.

Using diff ports isnt enough?

Thx,
