    Default SEVERAL ppls on ONE router

    Hello,
    i am visiting my friends an we try to play VI with 3 ppls on one wireless online router.
    We all can log in and can see each other in the lobby, but we cannot see our games.

    Greetings
    Luculus

    You need to forward the ports of the hosting Computer so that it's visible.
    Same things apply that you need to host when using a router.
    But it could be problematic that the three of you have the same outside IP.

    Default AW: SEVERAL ppls on ONE router

    Thank You R'as for quick reply.

    You are right, that is the problem, all 3 gamers have the same IP-address from the router.

    Perhaps there is a program which adds a different IP to each client, like hamachi for LAN over internet.

    I hope we can find a way.

    I have found many new ppls here who wanna play this game and You know we always need more ppls for MTW/VI and the mods.

    (I am in Munich... 800 km far from my home... visiting some clannies from LotRO who I have never seen personally before. That is a good situation to get many more ppls for VI. so it is very important to show them the game as long as I am here.

    You're 4 people on the same LAN.
    Why don't play a LAN game instead of trying the lobby?

    Maybe to play others in the lobby?

    May be too late, but maybe for next time.

    For some reason I believe that this should work, but only one of you will be able to host. That one will have to have a static IP setup, the DMZ assignment for the router, and most likely have their firewall turned off also.

    There is more info here: http://portforward.com/default.htm
