Apparently this is impossible using a router? My house has a small network with 4 computers on it using a netgear router, me and my housemate want to play Company of heroes online, but need to forward ports to do so. so, is there any setup we can use that will allow us to do this? its probably going to involve replacing the router with something, but what? and how would you set it up?
Umm....unless I'm missing something here like you both want to be a hosting server, you shouldn't need anything else to play online and wouldn't need to set up any port forward rules. That's assuming Company of Heroes works like any other game I've played with online capability.
Company of heroes is special, If you don't have your ports forwarded its pretty much impossible to connect to any games. Relic thought they would be clever and create thier own system rather than use something established, and failed.
Is it possible with this game to assign alternate ports? If not, then zx10guy is correct, a second public IP address would be necessary.
