Make sure you don't have an Internet Security suite where a firewall's built in or a 3rd party firewall. Also make sure the port's are properly forwarded on the Router.

if you port forwarded, theres the problem. you can only forward the same port to one PC at a time.

correct. you're diverting traffic here - you cant split it in two and send it both ways.

You only need port forwards if you're hosting a game anyway, i suggest removing all the port forwards, and making sure youre forwarding as few ports as possible to get the machine you need to host, able to host and have people connect. Its possible you're overdoing it.

whichever one you port forwarded, the other one will likely stop working.
