bnet help, how to play 2 ppl in same game with sharing dsl?

[nookuwn]

Hi,

Like the topic says, u know how I can get it to work?
The connection works fine, if we play in different game, but it does funny things when we try to play in the same game, it either can't join the same game or it drops us or lags once we are in the same game.

It has the same thing with starcraft and warcraft 3

Thx

What kind of network are u useing to connect both ur computers?

I had a similar problem at my college residence. Either play it on the LAN, or get the guy who's not behind the same modem to host the game. For some reason, there is still lots of lag (despite the tiny bandwidth requirements of the games), I believe that is just a battlenet problem.

i had that problem with my linksys router in warcraft III, DMZing the hosting computer made it work fine, so its most likly an issue with ports, try to find out which ones do what for wc3/sc and you should be set

I believe for most games if you read the FAQ it will state that it won't work correctly coming from the same IP, unless you're hosting, but if you're trying to join another server, it won't work.

Im using dsl modem/router, and share the connection with a switch.

hmm. as for dmz function, i figured out how to use it awhile ago, but never tried to play in the same game, when i host. I'll try it, as u said whoping panda it should work.

thx guys
