Two players on same router on same server?

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

Two players on same router on same server?

All right, so my roommate and I have been waiting to play a Privateer-style game multiplayer for a long time, and while we can fly together if one of us sets up a LAN server, we can't join up on any internet server (though both of us can be on different servers simultaneously). We've had this problem on a few other games before, but not all (for instance, we can join up just fine on an America's Army server).

Anybody know what's going on here? Is this a technical issue with the router or something on our side, or is this because the server software won't allow multiple connections from the same household...?

I believe it's this one... Someone mentioned this before and had the same problem.
