menace13 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) Right here's the problem.. For those who use DC++ you know there is 2 modes,Active Mode and Passive Mode,and Passive Mode is so fucking shit it's unbelievable,well I'm behind a router and I've forwaded ports so I can use Active Mode and it worked fine..Now here's the tricky bit,my brother wants to use Active Mode also.. But I've gotta use the Internet IP Address off my router to get DC++ to get to work on Active Mode,now to put it more easier..2 computers 1 IP adress and 1 Person can work it the other can't and also when I try and search nothing comes up,I really don't want to use Passive Mode as I hate it. Help? Edited August 28, 2005 by menace13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 You could looks for an ISP that gives you 2 IPs as part of the deal. Have you got NAT turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 5055 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) You cannot have 2 identical IP addresses on a network. If you turn NAT on (which I think you may have done as you are port forwarding), on the router then you can have as many internal IP addresses you want. What IP addresses are you using? Give me numbers ! Edited August 29, 2005 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Use different ports. Eg. Computer A 10.0.1.2 Computer B 10.0.1.3 Forward port 6681 to 10.0.1.2 Forward port 6682 to 10.0.1.3 Then just set up the different ports in the DC++ on each computer.

menace13 0 Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Sorry to bump a old thread, but the problem was never fixed, again sorry about this. My router doesn't seem to support NAT? It's a Linksys BEFSR41 V3 wired. Here's a pic of the ports being forwaded my IP is the one with .100 at the end and my brothers is .101 Also, say if my brother is inside a hub, I can't join that hub, it says I'm already in it? Thanks! Edited January 9, 2006 by menace13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
