Same ip in multiplayer game ??

[bsr]

Im have 3 computers connecte to router and Id like to get 2 computers into bf1942 at once,,, So I tried it and they both connect but wont spawn when both are connected.. so is there a way to get it to work without using a hub ?

umm ... your in the wrong forum ...
But ... anyways ...

I think you need to look into the configuration (files) of your server...

try some gaming forums specific to 1942 ... I dont think many can help here...

Your computers should have individual IP's anyway (assigned by your router...)

You can bypas the auto assignment by manually assigning the IP numbers in the TCP settings on each computer.
(thats what I do ... Ie. 192.168.0.1 is router ... .0.2 is server... .0.3 is game comp 1 ... 0.4 is game comp 2)

If this game is based on directX and uses the directnet code in there then the following link will likely fix your problems.
Link to software to force computers behind a NAT to use different ports for directnet

Well, I have an SMC Barricade router, and can have two comps in the same BF server (from behind the NAT) at the same time...provided they each have their own legal key.

oh ... thats right !!! ... even Q3A Punkbuster only allows one unique CD key per game ...

i bet thats it!
