Half-Life and router problem!!

[storm^phat]

Incase you aren't aware, [KIA]Grafik and myself share an ADSL connection, which I have running through a SAR715 router. Only just really noticed this problem, but when I join a server he is playing in, it disconnects him. I have to retry to get in, but one ive retryed I can get in, and he can't! ;(

Guess its something to do with the fact we have the same I.p but didnt think this affected it, as Ive used interent sharing and stuff loads of times before.

Any ideas mucho appreciated. xx

Does he get any error messages ?

[InkZ]

you using different keys

[storm^phat]

No error messages, other than "Connection Problem"

sequence goes

He is playing
I join, and get connection accepted
as that happens
he gets connection problem
I type retry it lets me in
He cant get in, keeps retrying

using different cd keys naturally

try putting a different clientport in his command line ?

-clientport 27006

[storm^phat]

cheers i'll give it ago!

[storm^phat]

Doesnt seem to work :confused:

[Helical]

it may be +clientport 27006 :)

[Helical]

You may need to forward the ports too.

27005 to your ip and 27006 to his.



Nat should do all this though :/

could try giving each of ya static ips on the lan i know it should give u diff ips anyways but worth a try

Buy a decent router :)

[Helical]

Buy a n00b router is what Dilb means :)

[storm^phat]

I had same problem... it's the client port thing.
