How to get unique IP address for two Servers.

Mussels · Jun 22, 2009

CSS definately doesnt disallow people for having the same IP by default. i've got two housemates, and i know there'd be hell if we could only play one at a time.

You sure its not something else, like say... using the same steam account twice?

OK, why does my IP didn't give me stable location.

Edit: that's what i get for not reading all the way...

Set up DHCP on a switch. That HUB won't have it. HUBs don't have routing tables.

Or just plug one pc directly into the other via a crossover Lan cable. Then run the windows network wizard it will do all the settings for the network & internet connection sharing. Simple & cheap way to get two pc's hooked up & online.

Oh i know how to mod a standard lan cable into a crossover if anyone ever wants this info.

Can anybody please tell me where to get CSS low-ping servers that my bros can't access. :eek:

Oh dear...

You need a router. Both computers plug into that router. In the router settings you need to set both of their IPs to static/reserved. An example:

COMP1: 192.168.0.132
COMP2: 192.168.0.164

Then you have to add virtual server/port forwarding rules. Example

COMP1: 27115 UDP & TCP
COMP2: 27215 UDP & TCP

Now you have to tell Counter Strike to use the new port. You can do this by modifying the "Target" line of the shortcut to the game. Example:

COMP1: hlds.exe -game cstrike -port 27115
COMP2: hlds.exe -game cstrike -port 27215

You should now be able to host two internet servers at the same time on the same WAN IP. When someone on the Internet sends a packet to yourip:27115, it will be directed to 192.168.0.132:27115. When someone sends a packet to yourip:27215, it will be directed to 192.168.0.164:27215. Same Internet IP, different computers.

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.

Source and GoldSource would only freak out if the IP & client port matched (if they did, it would drop the older client and accept the new one assuming you are reconnecting to the server). NAT routers randomize the client port number on outbound connections so it's never a problem unless you have way too many connections trying to get out. Example...

His: 127.0.0.1:7423
Son's: 127.0.0.1:48234

That's completely normal.

Switches don't do anything on IP level, a DHCP server is a DHCP server, basically all routers have one built in though. Though it's not the same as a router either.

Google agrees here: http://forums.srcds.com/viewpost/26944#pid26944

And considering 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address that's a bad example

It was an example. No one "owns" 127.0.0.1 so it is safe for examples in the interwebs. 192.168.#.# is reserved for intranets.

I don't care what Google says. Just host a Quake/GoldSource/Source game and look at the IPs that join. If you get two people behind the same NAT router, you'll see it in action (connected from one IP but two ports).

Instead of not caring and trying to make your point again you could just read my post again, it's not that long. I said Google agrees, thus you are right. Though feel free to make some more posts explaining me in different ways.
