Network for Gaming?

Hey all, just me w/ another random question, though I'm hoping not too random.

On my home wireless network I've been trying to log in to a game w/ two different computers (Wolfenstein ET) yet it seems to fail to connect the second computer whenever I attempt this.

The computers seem to have different IP addresses, though they are using the same network w/ the same internet connection, and I was just wondering, is there any way to fix this? Or is it the fact that it's the same internet connection, so I will most likely be unable to log on to the same servers w/ two computers sharing that connection?

I'm not sure how much sense that made, but if anyone can help me, I'd be greatly appreciative. Thank you much!

If you want to play an internet game from behind a router, you can play only on one PC at a time. That's because the outer world only sees the router, as one entity, and cannot distinguish the PCs behind it.

Although, it may be possible to do it, if the game supports custom port settings, so you can forward a certain port to one PC, and another port to the other PC. Kinda like running two instances of eMule on two different PCs at the same time. Never tried it, but might work.
