2 Players from the same IP = Connection Error

Post by Shesiressu »

Hello,

I really want to play together with my brother. He plays on a Laptop and me on a normal Computer in the same home.
But the problem is, always if we open a multiplayer-game with 2 players he get's a Connection Error ... but only in the rooms when i or my brother opens a room.

If others open a room there is no error.

I hope you can fix that problem, we finally found a really nice game but it doesn't work on same IP's ...

P.S Here are example IPs of us:

My brother: ***.***.0.103
Me: ***.***.0.104

2 players from the same IP does work. Do a search in the help forum for port forwarding. (TCP 2100)

Try connecting by IP, not through lobby, because most routers don't forward the ports inside, only outside.

Hey,

Some nice guy on the chat helped me at getting work this. It was connecting by IP ... Ports are opened etc.
Now we have a little problem with disconnecting ingame, but that's because my brother is using Wireless Connection ... i'll put it on my router.
