Two of my computers have the same IP when i look them up this seems to be no issue when just browsing the net, but when logging on 2 accounts on maple it cracks it and d/c's for obvious reasons.
Any way is there any way to fix this other then restarting everything when it happens?

You have one IP per internet connection, regardless of how many computers are using that network connection.
In other words, if you have 20 PCs, and your ISP has assigned your modem the IP address is 143.143.143.143, every PC you have is connecting to the internet through that modem, and therefore has that same IP address of 143.143.143.143. Your IP address isn't owned by the PC, it's owned by the modem.
Each PC will have an internal IP address as well, but that's not what the internet sees, that's what your local network sees and uses to talk other PCs on the network.
All that aside, Maple generally doesn't care what IP address you're using or how many times, because dozens of people with the same IP address are pretty common due internet cafes, large households, libraries, starbucks and everywhere else.

Oh ic, Any ideas why I would get this strange lag when when 2 accounts are logged in on the same time? its very strange like the game pauses then when you quit on one account the other resumes fine.

Might also want to verify your router actually has both UPnP and NAT enabled.

You failed to mention this. From your description it was implied it was happening every time.

"Whoa whoa" yourself :f6:; Don't assume you have even the slightest clue what tone a person's text had when you've never met them before and they've not included anything explicitly emotional or even emoticonitive.
That was one of the single most left field and unrelated over-reactionary replies to a basic observation I've ever seen.
