Hi, so my housemate and I want to relive our EQ days of old by joining project 1999. We both have the game installed and totally operational, but only one of us at a time can play. I'm guessing this is due to the shared IP address from our wireless router. Is there any way around this issue?

Create a petition in the forums here. There is a section below this to do so. Sadly you might have to wait a good long while. Until than you can try,
1. Find a stable free proxy to use.
2. tether with one of your cell phones. Just remember that EQ uses UDP data. So make sure you check the settings of the tethering program you are using so that UDP is enabled.
3. Look for another router in your neighborhood that is open.
4. Call ISP and request a second IP. (this normally costs money)

Basically you just need to get one of the other machines on a different external machine.
