Asheron's Call: Only one computer on the network can log into the game.
To resolve this you will need to change the port number in the userpreferences.ini file for each computer that you want to have logged on at the same time to use different ports for each system. To do this, follow these steps: One of the lines in this file says “UserSpecifiedPort=0” For each computer that you want to connect to Asheron’s Call, you will need to change the number 0 to a number between 9000-9013. Each computer will need a separate number. Example: Exit out of the file choosing yes when prompted to save changes and restart AC on both systems. You should now be able to log on both computers at the same time to the same world with two different accounts. For more than two computers you may need to use additional ports. Remember that if you have "port forwarding" setup but it is only forwarding ports for one system on the network you might need to "split" the forwarded ports evenly between the two systems (e.g. have the router forward ports 9000 to 9006 to computer "A" and 9007 to 9013 to computer "B"). Refer to the article here for details on port forwarding. If you need further assistance, please follow up with Technical Support.
Computer "A": Change it to UserSpecifiedPort=9000
Computer "B": Change it to UserSpecifiedPort=9007
