Port forward same ports to more than one PC?

I need help; i have a linksys wrt54g router and i need to be able to forward the same ports to two computers. The reason is the game i want to play uses gamespy, and i need to be able to forward the right ports to two computers so that they can both get on the game. Help anyone? Answers are greatly appreciated!! thanks!


You can't. You would need two seperate public IP address to foward with, No residential ISP offers this, additionally you would need a router that could configure more than 1 address or (2) seperate routers for each IP address.

Your best option is to alter the incoming port on the 2nd computer. There should be a registry entry or option to change in your program.

That way you would have 1 port mapping for the standard port going to PC1, and a 2nd port mapping for another port# going to an altered 2nd PC.

Google "Change port" for GameSpy and you should come up with some info.
