Shared internet connection

[tigertaz]

I share a cable internet connection (through a router) with another computer in my house. We both can't play in the same game room(either direct connect or throught the zone) with another player. We can play 1 v 1 just fine. . Is there anyway to fix this problem???

I doubt it, a mate of mine has hellish problems with his router.

Interesting...

I have a DSL connection that I share with 3 computers (2 PCs and a Mac) through a Linksys router. None are the computers are networked (in that they share files or anything like that). I tried (for the hell of it) to install GB on both computers the other night and try a LAN game and was shocked to see that it worked perfectly.

I was really surprised that it did.

i'm finding it impossible to host an internet game and suspect that my firewall is the cause. does anyone know which port # i need to open to get this to work?

cheers
