Has anyone actually had this work? I tried this about a year ago and posted and all that and there was never a fix

Both Machines connect fine when only one runs the game.

I suspect the router. I'll give a final post if I ever figure it out.

I have, and it worked just like it said on the box:

Step 1: Plug it in
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Play!

For comparason, Roadrunner--Kansas City, @#(!ty D-Link 600series router.

The only wrench that might be thrown in there is that one computer is DMZ'd while the other isn't. Possibly conflicting UPNP 'plugs' generated by @#(!tastic router?

I certainly connected with two computers and more from behind a router. We usually do this on Alleg cons. We just need ASGS exceptions for those events.

Here should be my final post on this matter.

The problem has been solved by a new router. The bad one was 5+ years old, and the tech guy at the store said that they DO get old....http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/st ... /blush.gif .... I dunno, maybe the switching?? So I broke down, and $40 later we are happy and it has worked for several hour-long sessions instead of choking at 5 minutes. http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/style.../Pook/smile.gif

fyi the new one is a net gear 614... Mostly just the default settings, no wireless, but I did turn on Pings from the WAN, which seemed like it would be necessary.

Thanks all for your advice.

Good to hear, that it is working now.
