<div class="IPBDescription">HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!!PLZZZ</div> Alright, this is the problem, cookies to those who solve it.

We have an smc router (one of the cheap 4 slot connection onse you buy at a store), and a cheap netlink router. We also have the another one of the same router and another small hub. Anyways, whenever someone in our lan (6 people) joins an internet cs server and another tries to join the same one, the person connected first will disconnect. Why? This is **** me off. From what I recall in my previous lans, a lot of people could connect to the same server.

So yeah, that is the problem at hand.
Thx anyway.

    Excuse me, its a netlink hub. We are trying the hub and router together, but nothing works-hub to hub, router to router, etc. And gateway? How is that important?

    See if those two people can ping each other's machine, ping the different routers, etc.

    Sry, I am so nub at this, *expects slayage,* but I don't know how to ping people. What I know is that we can all connect to the internet but not the same game server, which I presume is because steam identifies only 2 ips, etc. Would a Switch help?

    Do you all have public IPs or are you NAT*ing? IIRC Steam doesn't work w/NAT and more than one connection at a time. If i'm wrong and it does, then NAT could still cause a problem because the second connection would use the same IP as the first, confusing the server. No idea how to solve the problem.

    * - Network Adress Translation. If your IPs are 192.168.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, or 10.x.x.x, your using NAT.
