2 people playing a game through 1 IP address

Basically, is it possible? My roommate and I were paying for 2 IP addy's so we could play Counterstrike, Starcraft, etc online together. Is it possible to do this using just a router and avoid the extra $15 a month?

People have said it works fine... but i can't get counter strike to work with multiple machines using the same IP

I haven't spent much time on the problem though and several people have said it works...

depends on the game....
Counterstrike works flawlessly for me, as does Diablo 2(not on battle.net)

CS works fine with as many computers you want on the same IP. I have only tried it with up to 6 so far but you get the point.

a router will do just fine.
since you're students, u *might* not want to spend the money on a router. so an alternate solution would be to run a sofwater NAT router on one of your machines. does the same job....just takes a few minutes to set up.

also, it depends if the gaming server allows multiple connectoins from 1 ip
