This is my setup. I have 3 computers that are connected by a LAN through a router and the rest is basic. About 2 years ago I had the same setup and attempted to get all the computers with allegiance in the same game and able to play. This did not work properly for some reason. Allegiance would only allow one computer in the lobby/game at a time. If one of the computers were already in the lobby or in a game it would not allow either of the other 2 computers to connect to the lobby.

I have tried multipul times to get this to work and have failed. I want to ask anyone who has information on how to get computers on a LAN to connect into the same game to please tell me what I am missing. My dad is an allegiance fan and I often have my friends come over who would also like to learn the game.

Though I need help/advice on how to correct the problem (whatever it is) that is preventing us from connecting at the same time.

Any help is appreciated.

It is not a problem to connect to the game with multible computers from behind a router. That was fixed in R3.
BUT:
You probably signed in with your account on all three computers. Your nick has now the hardware signature of those computers and will automatically link every new nick to yours, when used on them.
How many nicks do you have? If you have less than three, create 1-2 new ones and post them here. Our admins will separate them and you will have to stick to one nick/computer. (Stick a post it to the monitor with the nick.) /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
