Can't connect with brother on same IP

[Bobosaur 3]

Basically most servers (seems to be the US ones) prevents us from playing games together. We live in the same house on the same IP.

For example, if I'm already in the game playing, the red disconnect icon would appear, and say "No message received XX seconds", once he tries to connect to the same server I'm in.

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Seconding this. We experienced the same problem using a LinkSys WRT45GL router. However, rebooting the router and immediately joining a server afterwards seemed to work temporarily and both of us could play.

Any further insights on this?

Kind Regards.

Well earlier today I had much luck playing with my brother, but let me try rebooting my router as well. It tends to happen when the DayZ character servers are slow. (When joining a server makes you wait 10 minutes+ on "Waiting for server response")

Well I also have a linksys WRT54GL v6 router. Maybe it is our router's problem?

Okay update and good news: Fixed so far...

"To get around this, modify your ArmA2 shortcuts and add " -port=2350" to one of the computers. The number doesn't really matter, just as long as it's different from the other computers which will use 2302, 2304, 2305 by default. This will change the client port (though it's not documented) and allow you to connect to Internet servers. Well, at least it should ;-)"

Me and my brother are playing on the same IP and we also have a WRT54GL router. We're having little to no problems.

EDIT: If someone is still having problems with it, try flashing the Tomato firmware onto the router. :)
