Joining same server with another person on same router

[[email protected] 2]

So this was a problem I encountered in the DayZ mod as well.

 

Essentially from my understanding the servers do not recognize my IP as unique from my brothers IP when we try to play together. I was hoping when SA came out the same error would not be in place.. I know this is because my external gateway connection is the same and the server cannot see inside my network (obviously because its private). I am considering connecting to a VPN to bypass my internet connection through a different channel, but I would like to avoid this if possible... Not even 100% sure it will work.

 

Don't want to forget to disconnect my University VPN and look at porn YA KNOW?

 

 

Has anyone found a fix for this in SA?

Add -port=25007 into your DayZ launch options on one of the PC's. Right click on DayZ > General >  Set launch options.

Thank you and to confirm what I actually type in is 

 

"-port=25007"

 

 

Obviously can't test anything right now just making sure for later...

Yes, without the quotation marks. The number doesn't really matter as long as it's different to the default ports DayZ uses.
