Playing CS on same router

[HoosBB]

My stepfather and I both have separate steam accounts. We both bought 2 copies CS: Source and are unable to play on the server together. One of us can get onto a server but the other can't. We are both hooked to the same router. If someone could help me solve this problem It would me much appreciated.
Thankyou

That's because your ISP is only assigning 1 IP to you. Your router gives two internal IP's to each of your computers, but it only has one external IP to your ISP.

Assuming you have cable or DSL, you'd have to contact your ISP and pay an extra monthly fee for another IP address.

This is all assuming however that Steam only lets one steam account sign on per IP, which is logical but I'm not sure if that's the way it actually works.

It could also be the fact that whatever server you are trying to connect to will not accept multiple connections from the same IP.

well....you can both connect to the same server with the same IP. I have done it before now at a LAN. I think your telling porkeys and are using the same account!!

I'm able to have multiple people on the same server using steam as well. It doesn't seem to be an issue.

I've had 2 steam accounts on the same server from router with no problem.

Wow I guess I should apologize for trying to throw some ideas out there to help somebody.

Instead of being a jackass why don't you offer some suggestions on how to help?
