Port opening/forwarding question.

Hi,

This is probably a really stupid question, but I've not been able to find
the answer anywhere. I've got two PCs connecting through a wireless ADSL
router and I want both of them to be able to play games such as Dawn of War
and Supreme Commander at the same time. I've read about port forwarding,
but as I understand it you can only forward ports to one PC. I've done this
and the PC with the ports forwarded to it can connect and play, but not the
other. Is there a way to connect with both PCs at once?

Thanks,

Justin

Hello Justin,

I had the same problem once, and I solved it by buying a new router - a
Trendnet TW100-BRV204 VPN Router. This router can actually forward ports to
one address or a range of adresses. I'm sure you can find other routers
which can do the same - otherwise threre is no solution to your problem, i'm
afraid.

My regards
Søren
