Probs with online gaming due to subnet or IP addresses

[LJuliet]

When I first hooked up my router I had probs with Network Magic connections.

Now that I have it running better... I seem to be having a problem when gaming

online.

My boyfriend and I have hooked up our pc's together and have tried gaming online

together... and it worked for a couple of days.  But with having some D-Link router

probs... we reconnected everything.

Now I recall seeing two different subnet numbers for each of us before we redid

the D-Link... now they are the same...

So I am wondering if this problem is router related or does it lie with Network

Magic?  All I know is... that when I try to get on a multiplayer gaming server

I get kicked by Punkbuster saying:  'PB GUID AUTH: UNKNOWN'.

I think our online gaming predictament is due to my boyfriend and my subnet

numbers now being the same. (unlike before).

(If my prob does not relate to my router and Network Magic... than I thought

of putting in a Punkbuster Ticket to evenbalance.com)

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. : )

Note: my firewall is configed to allow online gaming, so I know that's not the

prob.

Certain Online Gaming needs some Port Forwarding on a router...What linksys router you are using ? Search for Port Numbers for your Online Game and Forward those ports on your router...

Hi LJuliet ,

See this post: http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Network_Magic&thread.id=18

Post back with additional details.

Also what do you mean by: My boyfriend and I have hooked up our pc's together?

Through the D-Link Router?
