Brother playing makes server time out

[Falcondude]

I've made a topic about this before but it still happens and I'm slightly sick of it.

If I am hosting and my brother does something on Blockland (not sure what causes it exactly... joining a server? Querying master server?), everyone in my server leaves. I get a bunch of "Client ____ timed out" in the console. My authentication still works fine.

I can't seem to get the server back up after he quits, either.

We run off the same wireless router, and we have different keys.

ask your brother what he did?

[Mr_Grinch14]

Wireless Router = Port forward

If you port forwarded it might your Internet, i have no idea.

If you port forwarded it might your Internet, i have no idea.

This phrase makes very little sense.

ask your brother what he did?

We're not sure if he had joined a server when everyone in mine locked up.

[Falcondude]

Bump. Still don't know what causes this.

[Falcondude]

Happened again. I had a full server about to play soccer. SOMEONE HELP.

[General Omega]

Are you using the same key on a lan or what?

[Falcondude]

Same router, separate keys.

[Grumpy]

Has your brother tried to also port forward his ports?

[Falcondude]

No. He's not starting a server, though; would that matter?

[Ethan]

You could always just eliminate him, then say he must have gone 'missing'.

I was looking for a more serious approach.

Grumpy, if he hosts and I join a server, it locks up so that's not it

[Grumpy]

I was saying that because usually two computers in the same house, each can't forward their ports only 1

[Falcondude]

Does anyone at least have a clue what's causing this? Badspot?

[Falcondude]

Problem solved.

I set myself a static IP, and it suddenly worked.
