Reeka,
I am using the routers because the router also serves as a firewall. I dont want anyone and everyone to have easy access to my network. But thanks for the thoughts.
TS - I understand what you are saying, but a multiplayer game has a host. The machine that game is running on, that all the other clients connect to. I have the router forwarding the port that BG2 plays on, to my machine on my LAN, and my friend from out of state can connect to the game, no problem. The people also on my LAN are connecting to the game also. The problem is lying with them not being able to see each other. The friend from out of state, shouldnt be doing any communicating with the other machines on my LAN, it should be getting all its game data from the hosting machine. Unfortunately, this is not the case. As far as I can tell, he shouldnt need to be connecting to the other machines on the LAN, hence I dont think the static IP address is the problem. But again, thanks for the thoughts.....
