running a dedicated server, roommates can't join

    I'm thinking it's an IP conflict of some kind, I remember having problems like this running a Counter-Strike server.
    Anyone know a way around it?

    Other people have been connecting through the server browser
    and I've been connecting through the default IP
    but roommates can't connect.

    Might be. Have everyone check their local IP's and see if they are the same.

    Well our local IPs (on the router) aren't the same. But I'm guessing its our outgoing IPs (sorry don't know technical terms, just have a general understanding) that are the same. Which is something certain ISPs do.

    Does anyone know a fix?

    Two people on a single modem/router not able to join the same server.

    Maybe try Hamachi or Tunngle?
