I have 3 computers connected to the internet. I have 1 adsl modem/router and that is connected to a wise 4 port router. The 3 computers connect to the wise router. They all connect to the internet at the same time ok. But the problem is thet we want the 3 computers to play an online game that connects to a specific ip address and port. I can only connect 2 computers at the same time to this ip address. The 3rd computer will not connect...saying that it is unavailable. Note: The 3 computers do connect to the internet ok.The browser works fine. Is there a way to connect the 3rd system to this remote ip address? It seems like the server only allows 2 at a time.

Thanks, Tom
 
Sounds like the problem is on the remote end and not with your network.
 
The problem may be that the game itself doesn't allow more than 2 people from the same external IP address to play on the same server, and since all 3 of your systems are sharing the same internet connection, they are probably all sharing the same external IP address as well.
