There's nothing quite like looking at your friend's face when you sneak an Arbiter into their base, recall in a Super Fleet with lvl 3 shields, and give a deadpan "Scramble." just for effect. Or them smirking at you after "Nuclear Launch Detected." and you furiously look for the tiny red dot that will lead you to the Ghost.
man, i once had like, 12 lurkers taking over half of my friend's main terran base, and like...ANY attempt he made to stop them ended in a bloodbath. Those things are brutal when all you have to see them is a comsat.

and as soon as they lift up their base, you send in scourges later on to take out the remains. can't land, can't stay in the air, it's priceless, yeah?

Oh man, been a whle since I've played Starcraft, I should go and install it again. Lately I've been playing WCIII with a friend of mine.
Im bored so I'll go look for my game
we should liek...play and stuff.....
I'll get my roommates to buy legitimate copies for their cheap asses.

People still play this game? Wow. I remember playing all night with my Korean friends, those were good times. Gotta love it when you're scouting and a horde of lurkers pop out of the ground to kick your ass... but everyone knows protoss is the best race
@Assertion:
I think you just set the router to have static IPs on the subnet. Shouldn't that take care of the problem? Either that or it has something to do with port-forwarding... man I'm so rusty at IP gaming it's pathetic.
Well, the problem is that Starcraft requires a unique IP for every user, and my ISP only provides one IP for me to share with my 2 roommates.Originally Posted by Super5
That's why I think the only solution would be to obtain proxied IPs.

Here's one thing to try, I'm not sure if it would work or not.
Have person A get on battle.net and stay on. Have person B (different computer) open a command window and perform an ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew. If your ISP dynamically assigns IPs, this might give him a new dynamic IP. Then he should start Starcraft + battle.net like usual. Battle.net could possibly be fooled into thinking that these were two different IPs. Either that or person A will lose his connection to battle.net. This probably doesn't have much chance of working, though.
Proxies will probably work, but man will your connection to battle.net be hella slow.
Assertn,
I think what it is is that, Starcraft requires a unique starcraft CD key. And battlenet does not(?) require a unique IP address, just the unique Starcraft CD key per user. So from Battlenet's perspective it doesnt care about which computer is connected so long as the CD key is unique since it only checks the CD key. From BattleNet's view 2 computers from one router might be seen as one computer. And the different IPs is only within the router/network. But the router can figure out which computer to send the data to when interfacing with the external internet. And since Battlenet doesn't care about the IP addresses and only denotes the cd key as separate, it allows say 2 computers to operate as 2 distinctly separate entities, even though once the information is sent back to the router, it is sent under one bundle.
Therefore if you have burned the same copy of the original Starcraft CD for 3 people on the same router/network, it wouldn't allow the same key from being used thrice,at the same time. But at the same time if you have 3 separate CD keys but operating on the same router, then that is when a bottleneck occurs and severe lag time sets in.
Just keep in mind that I am not the most technically attuned person, so I might be off with my theorizing. Just thought that, this might give you some food for thought and possibly help a bit.
Cos I play with my roommate occasionally on BattleNet at the same time and we do use the same router...
My bro and i have different copies (both legit) of SC and we can't play when the other is on (we're on a router so we lag each other out). Its not a problem for us tho b/c we play with the same ppl and we'd just end up against each other a lot and that wouldn't be good. It's actually better this way so we can give each other advice when the other is playing and not actually fight one another.
btw, when i started my friend introduced me to money maps, and sad to say thats all i play now (except for UMS). If you guys play ZC look me up ("bookburner" i haven't played in a year so my old account got deleted and i'm rusty). i wanna learn how to play the normal maps though so if u wanna help me out with that i'd appreciate it a lot.
