Multiple PC's same internet?

[Frandy]

So I bought my son a gaming laptop so we can play CS2 together. We are able to join eachothers party in-game but won't let's us join the same game together. Not even in practice matches with bots. Is there a way to fix this?

If you can't join together in lobbies at all, there might be something preventing that in your LAN/WAN. Maybe you could check the router settings?

Yes he can join my lobby. The issue is when I choose a game mode whether it's an online or practice with bots, he won't be able to join the game.
He gets a message that says couldn't not connect to the server or somthing. I've had him create a lobby insteaf and I'll get the same message when he's joining a match. Weird
Basically which ever one of us who is hosting the lobby will join a game. And the other will say in the lobby

When you invite him to play, it creates a lobby. You can then choose game mode to play. Are you doing this and still ending up in different servers?

Creating a local game (with bots) in cs2 is different than CS:GO, you should google that.

We are able to join lobbies we just can't join the same game together. Whoever's not the lobby leader stay stuck in the lobby. While the Lobby leader joins the game by themselves

Try use a VPN in one of the PCs,

just check if you did set static address IP instead of dynamic, switched to dynamic, and hopefully it will stop the issue of you bothly having same IP address.

Check the firewall of your router. See if NAT loopback is enabled if you want to join a private server from a private lobby.

Also check if UPNP is enabled, which is needed for multiple computers connecting to a server over certain ports.


For a private session on LAN.

A better solution is that you have the client directly connect to your local IP. What is happening is that 1 computers traffic is going to the outside internet and then trying to loopback into your network to connect the server.

Lookup the IP-address of your computer.
Both start up the game, but don't lobby together.
You will now start a host & play session.
Your son should open console and type: connect <your local ip address>?

See if that works.

I'm definitely going to try these out and hopefully it solves the issue. Thanks!

Any 3rd party security software on the PC? And also check the windows firewall.

Ports being used:
TCP: 27015-27030, 27036-27037
UDP: 4380, 27000-27031, 27036

There is no need to touch the router settings unless you are going for 1v1. Make sure that the lobby option is set to “Open Party"

You need to startup a server in the games files, then run a map. Friend me and I can go into detail about it because it's a long process and I had to do it with my friends, but in short CS2 files usually come pre installed with an executable to run a LAN server.

LAN isn't a thing in CS I think and you have to start your own server manually if you want to do LAN

In menu, console enabled.
sv_lan 1; map de_dust2

Then type status.
Give LAN IP to your player
connect ip:port

That doesn't work with CS2 or GO anymore, only CSS and 1.6 the method is different now
