Two accounts, one router

from Demigod Forums

Hello

I am interested in knowing if with one router can two players join and play?

I'm guessing it's troublesome because outside it's same IP. :D

Thank you.

It works. If it doesn't work without any configuration, you simply have to configure different port ranges for each PC with ImpulseReactorOptions.exe and forward the port ranges to the respective PCs.

My brother and I have done this and we still can't finish a game online together - one of us disconnects every single time - I have yet to actually finish a non ai filled game in...oh...since about 2 weeks after launch.  My gf wants to play to, but we had absolutely no luck with her trying to connect as well.

Is there some alternate strategy I can try?  I've played...maybe 20 games at best and I've had it since launch.  That's how bad disconnecting has been for me.

I've had a few times where this was an issue, but usually my roommate and msyelf can play just fine.

Hmm, how exactly did you configure your router?

First we tried playing normally - no dice

Then 1 did port forwarding while the other didn't - some success, but not enough to finish a game

Then we both forwarded to different port ranges - again, some success, but not enough to finish a game

What ports did you forward exactly?
