ok I was sure i had done this before but can't get it to work now...
I have a few pcs connected to the same cable connection & linksys router (not wireless) with unique retail installs of UT3.
I can login and connect to any server online without any trouble on all machines individually, but if i try to connect 2 machines to the same server, only one can connect at a time.
after the first pc is connected, if i try to connect with another one to the same server the second pc gets the "connection failed" message. (if i connect to a different server it works).
any sugestions?
it shouldnt matter that its the same ip, lots of people share ip addresses right? and im sure i have done this in the past without a problem.
im not a network expert or anything but i can usually figure out how to change settings and stuff so any help appreciated!
thanks!
ps. just for the hell of it i just tried it with one retail and one steam acct and same results. weird. (also tried turning off firewalls, changing routers, connecting two pcs to a hub, still nada)
