This is quite possibly a stupid question...

My boyfriend doesn't have broadband (yet), but he has a GC BBA. I've got a cute little D-Link router that I'd like to use to hook up our GCs so we can meet up with our friends online. Would I have any problems connecting both GCs to the PSO server at once, since we'd both be behind the same IP address?

the router will assign a separate ip address to each gamecube that is hooked up to it, you shouldnt have any problems.

well the outside world olny sees 1 ip address, so you shouldn't see a problem, but the possibilty for one does exist (and the olny way you can find out is to try)

Thanks. I guess the only way I can find out is to try it. I'll post back here if there's any problems.

Edit: It worked great!
