Hi im having a problem playing a game with my bro happens on most games because we have a router with T1 and we have the same IP so if he gets disconnected so do i (i think the game kicks us out because of the ip issue) so how can me or him change are ip so its differnt but so we can still be on the same connection

computer ip? or router ip?

computer ip? or router ip?

[SirNight33]

uhh im guessing computer IP? im not sure cause we both get disconected at the same time

[dsenette]

how are you guys connected to each other..you said you use a t1....wich....if youre at home is pretty cool...are you both in the same building?

[SirNight33]

lol yea.... we have T1 connected through are router but we have the same ip which gets us disconnected so how does one of us change are ips but still get internet?

UHh and if say i sign in on my email and i do "sign in automaticaly" if he goes to check his it signs in on mine

?....ok....let me try and figure out you set up here.....

you've got a T1 purchased for your home...
inside of this home you have a router
connected to this router you have 2 computers..

is this about right?

as far as the game playing problem....are you both trying to play the same online game? at the same time?

also....do start > run > ipconfig /all on both machines and report back the results...but omit the last digit of all ip addresses.

[SirNight33]

yes your correct and heres a screen shot of it instead

[dsenette]

is the last digit of the ip on both computers the same? or different?

(i don't htink this is gonna make a difference because the online game that you guys are playing...is probably seeing only the ip address of your router...which is how it's supposed to wrok....so...it's probably assuming you're trying to do some funny stuff....like cheating)

[SirNight33]

there all the same accept for the top it ends with a 0 mine ends with a 1 we played it before with router but it wont let us do it now some times itll let us play for 8hours+ then we get disconnected bunch of times but this never happend before

hmm...an ip address should never end in a zero...that doesn't make sense......

get me a screen shot of both machine's ipconfig /all

[SirNight33]

computer #1

ok your ip's actually look fine (i'm assuming the one where you actually omited the last number...ends in something closer to 100..)
i think the issue is that the game server is onlly seeing the router's ip...which is how a router works....so...i think there's not gonna be a way for you guys to get around this...short of getting another internet connection...which would be silly..

[SirNight33]

dam >,< ok well heres another question is it possible to disconnect someone useing a "packet flooding" tool? this game me and him play are full of hackers and i saw someone say $%&@#!* DC hackers and i asked how they doing it and they said a packet flooding tool? there such thing as this and how do i block it if so?

[dsenette]

there is such a thing....but i don't think we can help you with that...packet flooding is generally against the TOS (Terms of Service) of most game servers...and we can't help you with anything involving such violations.....i will check with the mods and see if we can help you since you want to block a packet flood...not cause one...so....sit tight.

ok ty
