2 IPs over cable
I have a linksys router with a 4 port switch. I am on cable. I want two IP address so that when me and my friend play games online it doesn't think we are the same person. Can I do this?
Thanks Ben |

If your ISP provides multiple IP's, and you get a hub, not a router, or purchase two cable modems.

So is there any way me and a friend can play the same game together against other people sharing our cable connection.

The router will assign seperate IP addresses to each PC so game playing shouldn't be a problem.

Actually, since you can only forward a specific port to one IP address on your private LAN, game playing will be a problem.

In this case, you will need to buy a second IP address from the ISP and use a hub or switch, not a router.

See what I mean about learning??
I was ready to argue with gunnerjohn but thought I would try it first and I'll be darned if ya can't forward a port to more than one IP!! Whoda thunk it. LOL I hope you two win enough money to justify the expense of a second IP and the switch. |
