I recently purchased a netgear wireless router and its works great and everything. i can play medal of honor: allied assualt online would out any problem but when my friend was over with his laptop with built in wireless thing we couldn't go on the same server. i think it's because we both have the same IP address, we both have legal copies of the game and everything. i can get on the server but then he won't be able. if he gets onthe server i wont be able to. is there anyway to like mask his ip or something. ANy help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

I very much doubt you have the same IP Address! Its a case of RTFM (Read the Fecking Manual) I think you will find that you need to run the NetGear Setup CD on your friends Laptop so that the 'Wireless Thingys' can commuicate with each other! Or that you need to be setup to use the Same Network/Workgroup names under XP. PowerLoad is part of the Oldfiles Network Please reply with a message to let us all know we are on the right track...

the wireless router and the wireless card are communicating to each other, and he gets on the internet fine. i did read the manual, nothing about the two people gaming on the same router. and when we go to whatismyip.com and whatismyipaddress.com on both the computer and laptop they show the same ip

also if the this will help any i have a netgear MR814NA v2 wireless router and i'm trying to play Medal of HOnor: allied assualt

It's not that his PC has the same IP it's that the server sees only the IP of your router. The router works as a DHCP server allocating individual IP to any PC connected but the gameserver sees only the router. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for life.

I'd say it's a matter of both of you trying to use the same port (NAT problem). http://www.portforward.com/ Set computerA to use portA, and computerB to use portB. On the router, you need to use port-forwarding(>could have a different name) to forward control over portA to computerA, which basically means the private IP of computerA. And portB should be forwarded to computerB. Port-forwarding is also called opening ports. You can find out the private IP of your computer via a CommandPrompt command: type this into a CommandPrompt: ipconfig The IP address that will be listed for your wireless card connection, is the private IP of your computer. Private means the IP is unique on your local network, as opposed to your public IP which must be unique for the entire internet. The link above will probably give you a step-by-step guide on how to forward a certain port to a particular computer. Remember each computer must use a different portnumber. The gameserver to which you are trying to connect, will probably have a range of ports you can use, so it shouldn't be a problem to connect on two ports at the same time, although I'm not 100% sure. ___________________________________________ ☺ [Belgium, GMT+1]_________________________svg

...additional: make sure the game on computerA is configured to use portA, and the game on computerB is configured to use portB. ___________________________________________ ☺ [Belgium, GMT+1]_________________________svg
