No, our external IP is the same, ie the IP computers on the internet see us on is the same. Our local IPs on our local network are different.
Ah I know what this is.
Log into your router dude. The details are normally on the side of it and you just type "192.168.0.1" into your browser and it should load it up if that is your gateway.
Once in your router after you've got the details, look for a section called "UPNP" go in there and turn it off.
Once it is turned off, press apply/ save (Whatever the option. Give it a few seconds and try again.
If not, then reboot your modem. Once it has rebooted, log back in and see if UPNP has been turned off.
It must be turned off in order for 2 computers in one house to work.
I know this works becuase my partner and I had the same issue and I fixed it.
XP me and thanks :D
I've seen the UPNP suggestion from some BF3 posts, and I've tried it.
Actually, UPNP was already disabled on my router. Further, we've tried disablingthe Windows 7 UPNP service, which also didn't work. I've also tried fully enabling UPNP on the router and in Windows, and it doesn't work.
So either way, UPNP on, off, etc, didn't make a difference and we were still not able to join.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
have you tried putting one on the DMZ?
That is not posible!
