Thread: 2 people online dissconnects

Okay so me and a friend came across LOTRO, and we decided we will play it, So we downloaded installed, and as we both got on (He connected first) all fine. Then i connected then it disconnected us both, Then we tried other way round i connecting then he after, We are both running Windows 7.
Any help will be great, Thankyou

Do you have 2 accounts ?

this some times happens when 2 people are using the same internet connection to play lotro, you should be able to fix the problem

browse to (my)documents\the lord of the rings online find userpreferences.ini and take a backup then open the orriginal in notepad

find the followig lines
ComputeUniquePort=True

UserSpecifiedPort=0

first check if ComputeUniquePort is set to True, if not change the false to true.. that should be all that is required
if this is true already or you still experiece the same problem
change UserspecifiedPort to a unique number on each pc id suggest numbers over 9000
ie for one pc use
UserSpecifiedPort=9000
and the other
UserSpefifiedPort=9001

save and close the file

and yes each person logging onto lotro neads to logon with their own account, if you share accounts the second person to logon will boot the first person from the game
