Port forward his computer as well? I don't see why this would be a problem...

This is a known issue. Was supposed to be fixed.

Forwarding the ports on the 2nd computer doesn't help. Even if you have 3 or etc.

Cant you only forward ports to one pc
1 port for 1 pc so you cant forward the same port to to different places
well thats my understanding of it

Well it works IF he doesnt join a game I host
so he can join other games fine but not ones I host

yes, thats the known issue. You can change the port # of the 2nd computer to like 10000 (for ex) and forward that port, but it still doesn't help. Its the sharing of 1 IP thats the problem.

I downloaded this program called "
hamachi" the other day, what it does is allow you to set up a outside server, and have people connect to a virtual outside network... it worked for another game I was trying, but I can't (haven't bothered trying) figure out if/how it would work with Spring... someone in the know should check it out, it would require people to provide a username and password to users and everyone would need to be running the software.
