My friend just replaced his netgear with a new netgear. We both connect wirelessly, and when we join a server to play a game, only one of us can get in. We've done this on Halo and CS:CZ. The router seems to think we are one PC, and so only lets one of us connect to a certain IP at a time. Also, when one connects and the other later gets dropped (after retrying the connection numerous times), it causes the person who was connected to get dropped also. The router just cuts off contact to the ip, dropping us both. What the hell's going on?

It's the Netgear MR814v2 router. Two XP Pro comps with tried and true wireless cards.
