Hello.
You need to go into your Router's configuration page by opening your browser and entering the address : 192.169.1.1
( or your router manufacturer's equivalent )
And then go into the advanced area, Look for "Virtual Server" or something that allows you to configure PC's on the same network.
You will need to load cmd prompt on both computers and then type " ipconfig /all " on both computers in order to get the physical IP address of each machine, Each machine will have an address such as :
192.168.1.2(preferred)
192.168.1.3(preferred)
Which is listed in the command prompt.
What you need to do, Is type the IP addresses into the virtual server on your router and assign a port range for each PC as shown below.

Will try this tonight and let you know if it fixed the 'problem'. Thank you for the quick response!

We tried this but it did not work. Can you confirm the settings you show on the image? Should all the port numbers be the same? We did use different / verified local lan IP addresses (192.168.10.19 and .20). Any other ideas?

That's really all I can say on this, Those were the ports I assigned to BF3 to allow 2 computers on the same network to connect to multiplayer together.
They don't specifically need to be using that particular port range, but I found that port range allowed myself and my fiancee on BF3 multiplayer together.
You could try other port ranges though and see how you both fare.
