Hi I have a good feeling that when I play an online game such as age of empires or fifa 06 etc the other computers on my network don't work, the internet we share seems to get unconnected for them. Im not sure if this is why, but it only seems to happen when I'm playing a game does anyone have any ideas or have you ever heard of this before.

You may need to set up port forwarding. A great site to learn how to do it is available here: http://www.portforward.com/

Hi, I am having trouble playing a multiplayer game over the internet, it's age of empires using msn zone, I can play it onlione on this computer, I opened the ports it needed to use, but I can't play it on the computer downstairs and on the one up here at the same time, is it possible when sharing the internet? If so how can I do it, I have also set the ports for the computer downstairs.
