Nighthawk this should be no problem at all. Have you tried it before? I have had 2 clients on 2 pcs connect through my Linksys router to the same server with no problem. Forwarding ports is only for the PC that is hosting a game.

If you are not hosting a game, don't worry about it. I've had much better success when I assign static IPs to my 2 pcs than through DHCP though.[/quote:2544d]

MAybe that is my problem, i am pretty sure i have DHCP enabled in the router. I did find a post on planet medal of honor that said you need to add
+set net_port 12203
+set net_port 12204 , etc
to each pc's shortcut command on the lan however many you have. I think i will try disableing dhcp first to get those static ip's. That will still let my network be invisible to the outside world, right?
