Can't play 2 Comps at Same Time Using Home Network.

I have installed everything correctly to play on your 72.249.94.148:28961 Up All Night 3000XP 1.1 server, which is in Dallas, so we ping really well. Problem is....My wife and I are on a home network and share a connection. We cannot play together on same server at the same time. As a matter-of-fact, I can kick her off if she is playing just by pinging the servers, then she can't get on for like 15 minutes after this and same for me...... What can I do to get us both playing on the same time on the same server (within reason mhuahuahua) without having to play a 'me vs her' LAN?

It's rather late atm, but I know my brother and I were able to play on the LAN at our old business when I lived in Ohio. I know we needed different CD keys for one, and I believe I had to add some sort of exception somewhere to have two connections from the same IP. I can't remember now, but will give it more thought tomorrow when I'm not so tired...

try forcing one of the boxes to use port 28961
add +net_port 28961 to your shortcut

You should know Badass by now... he has a wingspan of 8 feet...

Dammit, WTF? Now it isn't working....I have tried entering the port command into my shortcut and hers....mine only, then hers only, then both at same time....me starting 1st then her joining and vice-versa, now it is kicking us again..grrrr
Annoying as hell cuz this server is mega fast.

try something off the wall like 28888 on one of them, leave the other
and make sure your router has its forwarding set up correctly as well
