It sounds like they just need to set an alternate clientport. On one
machine, no changes will need to be made. The second one will need to have
a launch option added:
+clientport xxxxx
I think the default clientport is 27005, which the client that is not
setting a clientport using launch options will be using. The one that needs
to add this to their launch options can use whatever, but 27006 is a safe
alternative.
Both clients behind one router connecting to two different servers at the
same time shouldn't experience this issue, but if you have two clients
behind the same router and you're both trying to connect to the same server,
one of them needs to use an alternate clientport.
Then again, maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem and this won't solve a
thing. Good Luck!
