Hey fellows, I am sharing a DSL connection on two gaming PCs through Hub. Now when one PC joins a particular server then other computer won't connect to that server, because both PCs have same IP address. Is there any solution to get Unique IP addresses. I am using DSL connection.

You have to order the additional IP from your ISP first don't you?

When I had Comcast intitally, it came with only one IP, so I was faced with the same problem. If you hook to a router with NAT (Network Address Translation - they basically all do), it assigns each connected device a different IP, and routes the traffic trhough the single IP from your ISP.

Hope that helps.

But he needs to not be seen as having the same IP by the server. He needs to buy a secondary IP.

Please explaine in Simple. I am dumbie of Networking. :slap:

They are not telling you the right thing. I am. You will still be seen as having the same IP on both computers by the server you're trying to connect to unless you buy a new IP address.

That's the first chapter in "how to create lag for dummies".

Some providers allow multiple external IP's, need a router that supports that as well. Other than that, what game?

And still I want to know, how is the server he is connecting to going to care about the different INTERNAL IP addresses? The server only sees the gateway's IP address, no?

A server on the interwebz has no clue about your internal address, it only sees your external. Thus the machines have the same IP as far as the server is considered.


Doesn't source server have some option to allow clients from the same IP? If so, contact server admin.

That's what I've been trying to say this whole time. Now the OP won't ignore us :)

Why ? I have two online gaming pc's through the one connection. Me & my son are often on the same game & same server. We sometimes help each other out on cod 4 & alike.
I never had any probs with servers kicking us dew to ip conflicks.

I use internet connection shearing with a crossover cable. That way you dont need a router. For two pc's anyway !

You're askin me? Obviously the server he's trying to play on doesn't allow two clients from the same IP. He IS in Pakistan so the low ping servers are limited I'm sure.

No ISP hands out additional IP addresses for free. When you're connected to an ISP via a host it will give every guest PC the same external IP, only internal IPs change, servers/internet connecting to the guest PCs do not see these internal IPs.

Yep, In Pakistan there are very few servers to which I can join.

Like I said, it's the server that refuses connections from the same IP. So it's nice that your cod 4 server doesn't care, that source server does. Could be a setting or something source server just does, I wouldn't know. I don't use it.
