Four accounts in the same household running on different computers - voice for one only

[Rijacki]

<p>We have a router which does NAT because we want to have a home network so we can do silly things like share a single printer and maybe even share pictures or other files between the computers at home (we actually have more than 4 computers, but only 4 which run EQ2 on any regularity).</p><p>If I get voice chat working on my computer (even with EQ2VoiceSystem.exe explicitly allowed in my firewall, I have to disable the firewall completely when I change channels, then I can re-enable it), if my boyfriend fires up his EQ2 with the voice enabled, one of us will get a message indicating the voice chat is logged into a different character. If either of us clicks yes to change to the currently logged in character, voice chat no longer works at all (even with the firewall completely disabled) until both of us log out and close EQ2 and only one of us starts it and gets voice working.</p><p>Before GU52, as with everything else, we were both able to have voice chat running on -each- of the computers concurrently and without interfering with each other.</p><p>Is the problem with multiple clients behind a NATted router also on the slate to being fixed along with all the other voice chat bugs?</p>

<p>Husband and I are having the same problem. If one of us is on, it's fine but as soon as the other one logs in they get the VC and the other one gets booted and can't get back in.</p><p>Can only get it back to the first person it seems by shutting both down and only having one person on at a time. We used to both be able to run it just fine. One of us would get booted when the other logged in but we could get it back easily.</p><p>Anyone got a solution for it?</p>

<p>After the patch just before Fan Faire, I no longer have to play on/off with my Firewall. BUT, most of the time if one of us is on voice chat (different computers, same network) and the other logs in, we still get the "another character is logged into voice chat". Who ever clicks okay, knocks the other one off and then we -both- don't have it. We've tried disabling and re-enabling voice chat without any success. The only thing that works is if both of us log out completely, the one who is going to get voice logs in first and we both ignore any "you're logged into a different character" messages. Then at least one of us has voice for the night.</p>

<p>Same stuff going on at my house the only differance is it seems to happen if we are in the same group/guild chat.  if we are in Differant chats IE we are in differant groups we are fine.  Still hosed though as 90% of the time if we are both on well we are in the same group.</p>

<p>curious - are you using port forwarding or port triggering for the router (if at all)</p>

<p>TBH I amnot sure its a linksys wireless g router but we are not using the wireless function we are running cables to it.  I am using the station launcher she is not.  Other than that when ever we add a device we reset the router to zero and run the whole setup process so that it all goes smooth and baselines with everything up and running.  We currently have 4 comps running threw it at the mom ent and can all be doing whatever with no drop in performance.</p>

Only NAT so we can have a LAN. We could each have our own IP (I have 5 static) but that would mean we can't share the printer or files without sharing them to the whole Internet.

I had to go into the IOS of my Cisco and setup access lists for the new ports and ip's in use to get the chat to function on all the machines. The machines are running a mix of 32 bit and 64 bit Vista and Windows 7 build 7232</p>

ONE, yes maybe, but not for 2 people on 2 different computers with 2 different accounts (or up to the 2/4/4 we have).</p>
