Sounds weird but i guess you need to play on different servers  :-?

he just said it happens on all servers :P

What router is that EXACTLY? double wan as in 2 ISP connected to it?

Something to check-

Be sure NAT (Network Address Translation) and DHCP are enabled on the router.

I would rather check for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) since it's used for opening UDP receive ports (Atleast if you are running Windows, dunno if *nix cares about it). (It's prolly in advanced tab)

He said it happens when connecting to the SAME server from two machines, not two different servers  :wink:

xincom dpg502 is the router yes two isp's we have enabled almost everything and we split the ip's of the isps between each other so when i go to an ipchecking website or ipconfig we have different ip's i think its something with the routing for sure but such shitty error messages really dont help.

Someone on my server had this same issue with this same router.  I tried to help him (them) work around it, but it seems that this router has a buggy NAT implementation and there was no possible workaround.

He even went as far as manually defining all incoming and outgoing packets for each machine to use seperate wan interfaces in the router config.  It still sent all the incoming packets from the server to whichever client tried to connect last.

UPnP is irrelevent in that case :o

To the OP : try to update your router firmware to the latest version if isn't already : http://www.xincom.com/products/502/support.php

that router doesnt support VPN termination :( but you could always try to set up VPN server on one of those 2 computers, and run VPN client on the other one, stupid router would not have to distinguish where to send trem packets and would not mess that up
