Playing together on same external IP

[nickops21 0]

First of all, we both have our own steam accounts. We have 2 seperate computers and 2 copies of dayz. We got onto one server and after 20 minutes it made us lose connection, yet my other friend that isn't on the same external IP was still on it saying it was still ok. Each time we try joining eachothers server the person ingame gets "No message recieved for __ Seconds", yet the player trying to join is stuck at the "Waiting for Host" screen. So is there a way we can play together on the same external IP without it kicking us?

Do you have a WRT45G Linksys (Cisco) router?

 

If so its an age old BIS netcode issue that they've never admitted to being their problem. My wife and I have never been able to play on the same server together going as far back as the early days of the DayZ mod for the exact same reasons you're describing, I pursued the issue for about 6 months on the BIS tech support forums to no resolution, the only real option BIS seemed to have for me was "you may need to buy a new router and see if it works after that."

 

Suffice it to say after we both got the standalone we attempted to log on to the same server and got the exact same issue once again.

Ok thanks I will be looking for new routers then. Hopefully it will work. Thanks.
