CAN I HOST FROM TWO COMPUTERS AT THE SAME TIME BEHIND THE ROUTER ?

I am using WinroutePro (software) as recommended by Jiri in a previous posting.

Hyperloby on PC1 : port 21002
Hyperloby on PC2 : port 21003

Port Mapping on the router for the above ports is activated and working

Both PCs can play simultaneously, and connect to other hosts in HL, no problem

IF I TRY TO HOST A GAME ON ONE PC, then nobody can get connected !!!!

IF HOWEVER I change the default port on Host PC back to the normal 21000 and map port 21000 to the PC THEN, IT GETS CONNECTED!!!!!!

CONCLUSION: HL seems to be able to host behind a router ONLY if you use the default port 21000.
No chance to host two games using two PCs behind the router.

Jiri are my thoughts correct or do I start losing it ?

Two hosts behind the router = router must have two public IP. The port is locked to 21000.

Thanks Jiri, I though for a momemnt I was getting insane...

Maybe you could add this details to your FAQs because many people I presume read the solution for multiple clients within one rooter (in the forum) and think this applies to hosting, too.

This maybe one of the future add ons if you continue to develop HL.

The reason is that most of us playing IL2FB have a spare machine where Dedicated Server could be running. You can have many instances of Dedicated Server running simmultaneously.
Ideal for Squadron trainings (one session Full Real, one session with externals & icons on, etc..)


Thanks for the quick answer!
