I have 2 computers, and on one the one i hardly use i can host a dedicated server/server, but i can't do it on my laptop which i use a lot. They are both on the same connection and i've tried port fowarding.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

i thoguth you didnt have to port forward anymore?

anyways. every comp/device on a router is assigned a diff ip4 number.
NORMALLY when port forwarding anything, you cant assign the same ports to more then 1 device.
possibly why its not working. (for the second one)

granted if you didn't port forward correctly to begin with, what i said is likely not related the slightest bit to your problem lol

You can only port forward a port to one computer at a time.

if its the issue, you would just have to find out what device number the second comp is designated on the network, and change the forwards around to work for that one instead.

I don't think i ever port fowarded my other computer (not laptop).
