Cannot connect two computers to the same game server HELP!

I have a Linksys WRT54G Router.  I have two computers and I want to be able to use them on the same gaming server.  Unfortunately, the game only have one port, so I can only port forward one of my computers.  How can I configure my router to have two external IP addresses to the server so it won't kick one of my computers out.  Thanks!

Hi,
I am in a gaming community and many members have a Linksys at home (but I don't know which kind exactly). Many of us try to connect two computers to the same server (many have a family). It seems it is a common problem that no one can connect two computers to the same game server.
I have a BEFSR41 V3 Firmware version 1.04.8
I use fixed IP address and no connectivity problem on Internet.
I have win XP SP2 on both computer.
I am using a DSL modem
I can connect the two computers to two different game servers at same time, but not the same server. Default port for this game is the same for all servers I use. I tried with both port forwarding enabled (in that case one PCs can connect the other not) or not (in the second case, whenever the second PC connects, the first one lose his connection to the server, no mater the order I try to connect my PCs).
Now the weird thing is that one member in my community just decided to throw away his Linksys router and he bought another brand (which I won't name to remains politically correct). Now, without changing anything in his PCs or his connection type, he can now play with two PC on the same server.
I am seriously thinking doing the same move. Since more and more game are now using Internet (and servers that controls piracy, $$) and family want to play together, not being able to connect two PCs on the same game server makes Linksys in bad situation from marketing point of view.
For example, in my gaming communtity, we now all know that Linksys can't handle two PC on same server, but other brand can...
Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Trouble connecting two computers at the same time

    I have a Macbook Pro with a 802.11g airport card. A friend has a 802.11n airport card. When I am online the 802.11n computer can't get online using the airport extreme n station. I suspect that this is because of the diference between n and g, but I cant find a way to either switch her airport card to g, or switch the station to g...any ideas?
    It is also password wpa/wpa2 personal
    thank you!

    Unfortunately that hasn't worked. The g card is working fine, but the n cant go online when the g is online. They both are recognized and accepted by the airport station, but it will only let the g online if they are both logged on at the same time.

  • Two computers for the same website, need help!

    Hello everybody, I really need some help here!
    I am working on a website at the office and to save some
    time, I've send by email all the files related to it to my pc at
    home. When I tried to open the pages at home, I've found problems
    with visualizing the pictures, there are squares instead! The
    pictures are at the same position where I've put it, but there no
    images, just those squares with a draw of a tore picture inside. I
    want to know if this is trivial when the files are transfered to
    other computer.
    help me please

    Even better although not to easy to setup would be to have an
    FTP server
    running on your home PC.
    With the FTP server allow access to the folder on your home
    PC where the
    Office PC website is to be mirrored.
    (Choose a good username and password to maintain the security
    of your home
    PC).
    Then back on your office PC you would simply enter your home
    PC's FTP
    address, username and password in the site preferences
    'Remote Info'.
    Then you simply use Dreamweaver's Synchronise function to
    maintain and
    syncronise files between PCs.

  • How can I connect two PS3 to the same Linksys WRT54G correctly

    Hi,
    i'm trying to connect two PS3 to the same routeur without having conflicts. Everytime i try to update my game softwares it tells me error 80710723 or now 8002AD23. I gave the two PS3 different IP adresses, i opened all the ports that Playstation suggested me to open (http://playstation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/241) and gave them different DNS adresses but still they cannot download any software content without bugging the console. I also use a PC, Tablet and Phone with my wireless connection.
    thank you
    -François

    Well in this case the error code (80710723 ) is generated when the internet connection is slow. So you can try the following step:
    # Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
    # Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
    # Make the Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    #Adjust the following advanced wireless settings:
    ~~ Lower the beacon interval from 100 to 75
    ~~ Lower the fragmentation threshold from 2346 to 2306
    ~~ Lower the RTS threshold from 2347 to 2304

  • Two computers using the same display

    Can I use one cinema display with two computers ate the same time. that is, can i have my MBP and a Mac Mini connected and switch between the two?

    Try Gefen and have a look in their Apple Section.
    I think a 2-1 DVI KVM switch is all you need. But of course the HD Mate Scaler will do everything.

  • Cannot open two pictures at the same time - computer crashes

    I have PSE7 and Windows7.    I cannot open two pictures at the same time.  When I go to open the second picture it crashes PSE7.  Anyone know how I can open two pictures at the same time?  What is the fix?

    Hello Shawbrah
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, your method is actually the only workaround for a workplace with PSE7, but it isn't a solution for our enterprise network/domain.
    There are different problems:
    We have several computers with PSE7 installed. It does not make sense to manually install a local TCP/IP-printer on each PC.
    We have many fluctuation in our company which means that the workplaces will often be moved and the PCs will often be replaced.
    If the employees are printing over a local printer, our centralized printer monitor solution does not recognise print volumes.
    The printers which are defined on our print server have special tray settings and these settings are "linked" to the core business application. Users should not be able to print with other settings, this could end in a chaos.
    Finally to work with PSE in our company, there is no other way than upgrade to PSE8...

  • How to fix the "Two computers using the same IP address" issue on the airport express

    I just bought an airport express and got dsl at my apartment, and I haven't been able to set up the wireless connection. My DSL works just fine but whenever I hook up the AX I get an error message saying that there are two computers using the same IP address on the network, but I only have one computer.
    I know this is probably a simple fix, but I've never had this issue when I set up the Extreme at my parents house and I haven't been able to find a thread on this.
    As of right now I have it set to Factory settings.
    Help please!

    This modem was designed to connect directly to a computer and you are trying to connect it to a router.
    Unfortunately, this is not a simple fix as both the modem and your AirPort Express will need to be configured differently to work together correctly.
    Connect the modem directly to your computer.
    Open up your browser and type the default IP address for the modem into the address bar. Check your documentation on the modem but it is likely 192.168.1.254
    That will bring up the configuration page for the modem.
    You may need to enter the modem access code which is on a label on the back or bottom of the device
    Look for an Advanced tab, then look for a tab labeled something like PPP Location
    Right now, you will see that "PPP is on the modem"
    Chance that to "PPP is on the computer or router"
    Click to save your new settings and the modem will restart
    If you ever need to get the modem back to its original settings, you will need to hold in the reset button on the back of the modem for 5-6 seconds and then enter in the default IP address to be able to access the settings on the modem
    Connect the modem to the AirPort Express with an Ethernet cable
    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Continue to follow the guided setup to "Create a wireless network"
    You may be asked to "switch" networks when you do this. You want to switch
    Select the "Connect Using PPPoe" option when it appears
    Enter your user name and password with your provider. Leave the Service Name area blank. You want to always stay connected if you see that option
    Continue to follow the guided setup and Update to save settings
    Pull the power cord from the modem, wait a moment, then restart the modem
    Log on to the wireless network that you created during the setup and you should have an Internet connection

  • PLEASE HELP. Two computers with the same External IP Address

    I have two computers with the same IP address which is causing problems. I tried to ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew but I get the error "No operation can be performed on a Local Area Connection* 11 while it has its media disconnected.
    I tried resetting router/modem, made sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" are all enabled. DHCP is enabled.
    Two of the computers have the same one and the other IP is completely different (not 1 or 2 off). When I open the router settings and click DHCP Reservation it shows the IPs 1 number off and all different like you said. i.e ***.***.*.106, ***.***.*.107,
    ***.***.*.108. But with the proxy service I'm using, when trying to allow each computer to use them it shows different IP addresses than what is shown in the DHCP Reservation.
    If I clone my MAC address the identical IP of the two computers changes but they'll still share the same IP. The third doesn't change.
    I tried ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew - ipconfig /flushdns nothing yet. Not sure about your #2 and #3. And I just updated my firmware.
    Anyone with expertise? Thanks.

    Cyber_Defend_Team and ZigZag3143x I powered down all three computers and turned off/reset the modem and router.
    I restarted them one by one and after, the two computers with the conflicting IP address changed their IPs but their IPs are still conflicting.  The third computers IP stayed the same.
    What else can we do?

  • One again, "can I use CC on two computers at the same time?" - in practice.

    I know this has been asked before and all those threads are locked. Many asked the question, but I haven't found a satisfying answer yet.
    Can I multi task with CC?
    I want to have my laptop next to my desktop. And while I render, export or whatever my newly shot documentary on the laptop I want to work with a music video project on my desktop. Then when the render is finished I render the music video and go back to the laptop and continue on the documentary. Or maybe I just work 5 minutes on the desktop music video, then come up with something brilliant for the project on the laptop and switch. Back and forth. Will that kind of activity result in any kind of limitation, usage-wise?
    So, working on Premiere on my two computers at the same time.. is it possible? Technically? I know the EULA says "only one person". But will it let one person mutli task?
    I need to know this before I buy. sorry for asking this again, please bless me with a clear answer

    Hi Jimmy Crim,
    Yes in case of Creative cloud subscription you are allowed to install and use the cc apps in any two machines.
    Even if you want you care allowed to use these apps together in both the machines.
    Thanks

  • Can two players use the same game app without erasing each other's scores?

    Can two players use the same game app on the same device without erasing each other's scores?  My two sons build up their characters and progress in their games, then the other one wants to play, erasing the first son's progress.
    Is it possible to create two player identities in the Game Center? 
    Is it possible to have two different Apple User ID accounts on the same device?  Is that even desirable?
    Many thanks!
    MCPROBW

    You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
    However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.

  • Two computers share the same wi-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must be read.

    Two computers share the same WI-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must still be read. Email is Thunderbird.
    Please help, Thank you for this online support option

    Imap wasn't designed for this kind of multi user situation. It assumes that you the account owner will be using it to manage one account via multiple devices. So once you have read a message it has been read, regardless of which device you were using at the time.
    You appear to be describing a situation where you want more than one user to read each message, without anyone knowing if anyone else has read it or even dealt with it. Frankly, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where this workflow would make sense or be useful.
    You can do various things such as manually setting messages as unread, or moving them from one folder to another to indicate that they have been processed, but much of this relies on users being thorough and conscientious.
    You may need to be running your own server to do this sort of email message managing, if you really need to fork a message so it gets to multiple recipients. Managing which users see a particular message is a job for a server, not the end-user's email client.

  • Connecting two WRT54GS to the same (wired) router (non-linksys)

    Due to some security issue I have to connect two WRT54GS to the same wired router.
    Do I connect the first WRT54GS to one port of the router and the second one to another port?
    And is the connection on the WRT the ethernetport or the internetport?
    And can I reach both the configuration screens or do I have to change the
    adress of one of them to e.g. 192.168.1.2 ?
    Regards,
    hENK.  

    I will suggest you to connect the LAN port of wired router to LAN ports of both WRT54GS  ........  Th connectino to WRT54GS is Ethernet Port ......
    Regarding the Ip address of WRT54GS ..... change the Ip address of first wireless router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 ........make the DHCP service disabled ....
    For the other router the Ip address would be 192.168.1.3 ...... DHCP service again disabled .........
    For accessing the set up page of both router use the new Local Ip address.........on the explorer address bar ......
