Shadowlord, and others with 2 comps for dyna
« on: December 22, 2005, 11:12:56 pm »
Just to let all know, especially Ducky, that I now have both my systems running on Dyna and drafting each other from both.  I have had no issues at all or drops when drafting my other system, with my son at the helm.  If he joins any house it would be his choice as I have not told him to join mine(yet).

Suggestion Duck it is  most likely the router or whatever you  are using to split the signal to 2 IPs either has a firewall or some sort of protection to negate your cross connections.  Could also be one of your 2 systems may have the LAN part turned off or blocked as well.

I will be away for a few days but perhaps we can talk again of this issue with your 2 systems when I get back next week(or sometime before KCW).

Have you tried drafting someone outside your lan along with the two of you?

It should not matter as long as both PC have different PUBLIC IP addresses.

This is correct.

I'm thinking ISP thing, PC firewall or other configuration.

This is an issue I asked Dfly to check for me -- and I will get on TS with him after xmas to compare settings..

I used to have 3 computers connecting to the internet using two different IP addies..I pay for a second IP from Rogers Cable..

Now I have both a switch and a router to play around with connection settings -- the thing to remember and I dont know if this is an issue is they only conenct to the one Cable Modem...

So like I said now that I know it can work I will test some stuff with dfly and get the kinks out..

I remember before I purchased the second IP I was unable to have matt and I connect at the same time..now we can both connect and fly games just not with each other..thats the issue I want to get resolved..

Anyone ever see this product?

I used the Demo a few months back and it worked great.

The thoughts of flying 2 ships are once with this on 2 differnet PCs is, tempting . . . .

Correct. (I once ran a server on a second IP address so I could draft.) I assumed he meant on one public IP address.

The one modem thing is no problem as everything I run goes through only 1 modem for me.  I am back and will get with you asap Ducky.
