    [SOLVED] Unable to connect two computers on different networks, works on same

    Thought I'd post an update. The problem has been resolved. DMZ host option worked, but port forwarding still did not. Turns out I needed to NOT use my public IP in the External IP address box in the router's port forwarding page. It should simply be left as 0.0.0.0 (which is the default any...

    [SOLVED] Unable to connect two computers on different networks, works on same

    Connecting keyboards of 2 laptops to 1 laptop through ethernet
