Port Forwarding Issues

[TyrealArchea]

I am trying to port forward my computer for several games. My default IP is 192.168.0.1.

I port forwarded my PS4 for CoD: BO3 the other day successfully. Lets say it's IP is 192.168.0.200.

The first port that I needed to open is Port 80.

Fast forward to today. I got my PC set up with a static address. Lets say it is 192.168.0.201.

The first port I need to open is Port 80. When I try this in my modem it yells at me: Oops, local start port overlaps!

SO then, I am wondering if I can use the default IP in its place to cover both games on both systems. So, type in 192.168.0.1, local start 80, local end 80, external start 80, external end 80, BOTH, ON.

When you are port forwarding you are telling your router to take all incoming traffic from X port ex. 80(remote) and send it to a specific local ip address over the same port. So you fundamentally can't forward the same port to two systems. If your router supports DMZ you may be able to add both systems to the DMZ network. But, if both systems are hosting something on port 80 at the same time you will run into the same fundamental problem. Also, DMZ opens that device up to a slew of attacks, because it is not protected by the firewall. The safest way to do this is to disable your port forwarding rule whenever it is not being used.

 I discovered how to make it work. Open the port to the default IP.
