One fix that doesn't seem to be well known for people that run 2 systems on the same game (not all games have this issue)...

If both systems have the same chipset on their network cards I have seen a few games crash on both connected systems. Sometimes within 5 mins, sometimes up to 15 mins.

I have ran multiple types of routers and seen D-Link and Lynsys routers to be most unforgiving in this situation (tho I don't see how the router might be a cause or have an effect on this).

THE FIX:

Get 1 network card that is completely different in one system than the other.
So if you run 2 lynksys network cards (one in each system of course) it might be worth while to invest in a different card for one of the systems, say a RealTek, or intel based one....and vice versa.

I kinda understand the reason for this issue, but will not throw out confusion into the mix as I just know it works and seen similiar fixes posted in other graphic intense games (ie lots of network traffic).

Another techie that has a grasp on this could explain it if they care to, but shrug...
