Unable to connect two computers

[TGUCerberus]

Does anyone know why suddenly I can no longer have two computers behind the same wi-fi connecting? Two gamers at home and until two days ago we were able to connect and play together on the Silent server.  Now if I connect, the other computer cannot connect. It just hangs saying Awaiting Connection.  If I disconnect, then the other one reboots, the second computer can connect, but I can no longer connect. It also hangs Awaiting Connection.  Tried so far to reinstall fresh.  No luck.

 

Any solutions?

 

Thanks!

You must enter in console like this i think : /connect nq1.clan-fa.com: port

Just making sure, but my impression is that the two ETs on the different computers have to be using different ports from each other.  That is probably what you did.

Do you lauch ET in administator mode on both computers? 

Yesterday I've play with two friends who share their WIFI and they seems to have a similar problem at the begining..

Yup. On one I just left it as the default 27960.  The other computer I tried changing it to any of the other ports, but none worked.  The one on 27960 continues to work, but if I try to change the port to something else, it doesn't work
