Okay I have one modem and normally I am at another place with my laptop.I have DOW installed on my laptop and play it effectively in my room when I study abroad.

But I returned for a 2months holiday to my parents house where my brothers computers sits and I am connected to the net by an ethernet cable.

I just cant forward ports for my laptop.I already have forwarded some ports in the original computer and ı dont want to mess up with them for other programs.

Is there a way to add ports for a second computer?I read the portforwarding thread but it doesnt seem to help much.

You could add your laptop to the router's DMZ - that takes it outside of the router's firewall so make sure you have a software firewall in place to protect you.

That won't help TBS if the router works like most do TBS, when you use the DMZ, it's only applied to the ports that aren't forwarded already.

Change the IP address on the existing PC and then put your laptop to it's IP address then switch them back when you leave?
