cannot play online game

[Guest]

Hi! I have a 2-PC network. One is directly connected to the DSL router and
the second one is connected wirelessly. It is the second PC that cannot play
online game. It seems to me that the other online player can only recognise
the first PC or mistake the second one to be the first one. There may be
wrong with the IP address of the second PC. Please help!

Hi KWL,

You'll need the DXPORT utility from puffinsoft.com to configure the 2nd
PC with it's own unique DirectX ports to use. Don't worry, they have user
forums at that site to help you with any initial setup problems.
