I totally understand the cheating or spying rule, and we will respect any rules placed upon us. JKamino (my son) and I play on different PCs in different rooms. Quite frequently we don't even play at the same time.

He was that's why he was asking for help.

 

 

 

Scenario:

- Two Windows PCs on our home network (behind a NAT from our wireless router, connected to our cable modem)

- 1st machine can connect fine (who ever connects first).

- 2nd machine cannot ever connect, no error, it just waits for a connection forever.

wow

just found the following: here

 

1) Open console
2) Type in net_port and hit enter
3) One of you needs to change that number to a digit or so higher. Pick who will do that
4) The person who changes it needs to use: net_port [new ip]
5) Then they need to type: net_restart

I had this problem personally and went through the cvar list until I discovered the "net_" family and played around with those. This fixed the problem and I haven't had it since. It has worked for my friends as well. Port forwarding may be necessary, but I can't remember. I don't think it is.

We got it working just fine, we are using different ETKeys. The fix was to change the net_port value.

5) Then they need to type: net_restart

 

 

 

I wonder if a /net_restart would help some people avoid restarting ET or their computer to fix a temporary problem.

good question. Let us keep it in mind for the next time someone has issues.
