multiple connections: single IP

Hey...

 

We've got several of us sharing a cable connection here and we've got a dedicated linux server set up in the data center at our job. However, it only lets one of us connect at a time since we all have the same IP. When another one of us tries to connect, it says "duplicate connect received: ignored"

 

How can we set up the server to accept multiple connections from a single ip?

 

Thanks,

ds

Make sure each pc connecting has a different port, for example if the server is running on port 28070 each pc should be something like 28071, 28072, 28073 etc.

 

Place +set net_port 2807x on each of the pc's command lines (short cuts)

 

"C:\_GAMES\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\jk2mp.exe" +set net_port 28071

Just to clear something. Your computers most likely don't have the same IP address. It sounds like your router is running NAT (thats the most common case out there). That means your LAN workstations/servers/etc will all have different IP's on a private subnet. They're just accessed from the outside world by that single IP address on the WAN end of your router.

 

Anyhoo. Foward the right ports to the right computers in your router & you should be all hunky dory. :)
