Multiplayer on Internet from the same IP

[b_ramsdell]

Can you have two players in a multiplayer game from the same IP address?

You can play through a NAT from multiple network nodes on a single IP. However, you can often run into contacting peer issues while others try to connect to a game with two people from the same NAT because Lamespy has trouble distinguishing between fake NAT IP's created for internal use and a person's real IP.

Bottom line, you can do it, but expect to have connecting to peer issues, especially at high traffic times.
