N4 - Linksys Router

My buddy and I are trying to race over my lan on Sierra.com with Nascar 4.

I could connect to a race, he could also connect to a race......as long as
it wasn't the same race. Whenever he tried to connect to a race I was
in....he got a timed out message. Also vice versa when he connected first.

On my machine I have the router set wide open (DMZ) to inbound/outbound
traffic. All assigned IP #'s on the local machines, not using a DHCP server.
On his machine I tried forwarding a range of ports, port #'s taken from the
Nascar 4 readme. I believe port forwarding is for hosting, I am only
interested in connecting two clients to Sierra.com via my lan.

We have our own unique Cd's and keys, we can login in to sierra with no
problems.

I believe it can be done with IP masquerading, is  IP masquerading possible
with my Linksys router? Are there any other solutions? Any help would be
appreciated.

TIA,

You'll need to set up each system to use a different net_server_port in N4's
CORE.INI (one can keep the default, but the others will need unique ports).

Thanks,

I'll give that a try tonight.

I believe  your problem lies in the fact that cable modems only allow use of
1 IP address (unless you pay for more) and issues the Linksys Router the IP
address for the cable system your on. When you race in different servers,
each server has a single IP, When you race in the same server the server has
two computers trying to use the same IP address and will only process the
the first IP it sees and rejects the rest. If you should find a way around
this problem pleas let me know, I have a 5 system LAN and would like to race
online with friends at my location.

Eric's reply did the trick.

I simply went in to the core.ini file in N4 on the second pc and changed the
port number on the net_server_port line.

Both machines are now able to logon and race in the same race.
