Two account,same house, can't play together

Hello everyone.
I've a very annoying problem.My roommate and I both play this game. Obviously we share the same house and therefore the same internet connection, but we use different PCs each connected with their own cable to the router. We have two completely separate EA accounts. Despite this, we cannot play in the same match, whether alone or with other friends.
If one of the two is already in a match, the other who tries to enter, as soon as the queue is completed, receives the message "party leader started matchmaking", without ever entering the game. If we join the same party and start a match, one of the two always finds himself back to the main menu, or again with the error message "party leader started matchmaking".  There is no way to play together, not even by setting port forwarding. We can play other games without any problem, even BF4, BF1 etc.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? 
Thanks.

    1. On one of the computers open Origin and go to your game library.
    2. Right click the game icon and select “Game Properties”.
    3. Click on “Advanced Launch Options”.
    4. In the command line arguments box type: +Clientport 22255
    5. Hit save and launch the game like normal through Origin

    If you have more than two computers using the same router repeat this process and use a different client port number on the next machine. You can use any random “222XX” five-digit numbers you want.

     No player should ever have to go through this rigmarole.

    This worked perfectly, thank you for this! I have two pc's on my home network and I started encountering this issue when trying to play BF2042 with a friend on them.
  • That has never been a problem in any game I've ever played. How about you just fix the game.
