Me and my brother live in the same house. (big surprise) We both have diffrent computers aswell. (not another big surprise) So we both downloaded Second Life and created FREE accounts using diffrent E-mails, and 2 diffrent Cell Phones (Mine, and our sisters). We use AirLink+ as a Wireless Router connection, and have Charter Digital.

However we can't be on Second Life at the SAME time. Do we need to buy an additional account?!? And if so, why? I asked some of our buddies whom play Second Life, (2 of which are brothers that live in the same house on diffrent computers who us FREE accounts and CAN be on at the same time) and they do know either.

Some help would be very nice, ty >.<

You'll need to configure your SL shortcuts to specify ports on the router. See this thread:

It's basically a port problem, both computers are trying to use the same port and you need to change it so they each have their own port. The entry explains it in more detail.

I suggest asking your parents or guardians to help you.
