Networking Scenario

[Impact55]

Say I have a static ( one) IP DSL connection and 2 computers connect to a SMC Barracuda DSL router, would I be able to be in the same game at the same time w/ the other computer online. (ie: Counter Strike & Starcraft)

No because the router wouldn't know which IP address to forward the packet to.

So.. only way is to purchase 2 IP's?

 

[Impact55]

what about using AOL Instant messenger?

Counterstrike: Yes
Starcraft: No

depends on what game/program you're running
