Connection to dedicated server from two computers in the same network

Post by Digaph »

Hi all,

I hope anyone could help me figure this out.
I'm trying to connect two computers within my local network to the same dedicated server. When I do this only one connects and the other states no connection could be established.
When I reset my router I am able to connect the computer that first couldn't connect, but then the first pc that used to connect now has the problem.

So does anyone know what I need to do to have two computers connect to the same host at the same time while using the same local network and public IP?

Cheers,
Digaph

ps. I'm using two valid licences for fs17, so that should not be the problem.
pps. My dedicated server is hosted by fragnet

I fixed the problem by setting one of the computers to a fixed IP address instead of a DHCP assigned one.
After that both computers were allowed to connect.

Just posting for it might help someone else with the same problem.

Cheers,
