Thanks for clearing that up B.C..............
I was losing sleep over it................ XD
Don't you have some pills for that? %)
Hi BC
That is true in some cases
It depends on the router
and how its deals with open port requests
If you have and older Linksys - they use port forwarding and u must open multiports
1 for each computer
if you have a 3 com it has a game mode which auto addresses port reqs
I just open a 2nd or 3rd server on same and/or different machine on subnet and voila
the console reports 28002 busy trying 28003 etc
Thanks for sharing

Good point Roo. My instructions are for D-Link routers.

When you open ports in your router's firewall to host a dedicated server for TT be aware that it's only for one computer.
In order to host dedicated servers from more than one computer at a time you have to open ports specific to each computer.
Example:
open ports 28000-28002 for computer A and
open ports 28003-28005 for computer B
TT will try to use whatever port is specified in the resources/game/server/prefs.cs and/or resources/game/client/prefs.cs file. If you want to host from computer B you will have to specify 28003, 28004, or 28005.
