2 Copies of Sins , 2 PCs , 1 ISP ...possible for both on ICO?

from Sins Forums

Basically my mate wants to bring his laptop over with his copy of Sins to my place so I can show him the ropes and stuff . Can we both go online to play Sins at the same time? Will ICO allow this.

I wouldn't think it'd be a problem.  Unless, somehow by "1 ISP" you mean you have the same IP address, but I doubt that's possible.  My friends and I have played over ICO while a few of us were in the same house before (laptops).  You should be fine.

Edit: I think this is the first time I've beaten Annatar to answering a question.  I feel proud... and yet, so very ashamed.

I don't think ICO checks for IPs, just account names. As long as each of you has your own account it should be fine. You just can't both log in with the same account.

It may be necessary to set one machine to use a different port in the user.setting file if you're on the same router, but otherwise there should be no problem.

It's possible, we do it all the time. Depending on your configuration you may need to do what kryo said but you may also need to forward the ports to the correct ips if you are behind certain routers.

So say you use port 6112 and your friend changes his port to 6113. If you are on 192.168.0.100 and he is on 192.168.0.101 your router will need to have 6112 point to 192.168.0.100 and 6113 to 192.168.0.101.
