2 accounts on one network

My friend's little brother started playing Supreme commander a few days ago and my friend and I wanted to help him learn the basics of the game. We went on FAF-lobby to play. My friend was playing on his computer while his little brother was playing on his laptop. Of course they both played at home on the same network. I hosted the game and my friend joined, but when his little brother joined, my friend lost connection to me. When my friend tried to host, only one of us could join him and the other person would get an error message. When my friend's little brother hosted, the same thing happened. It looked like FAF-lobby was unable to let two people on the same network join a game. Can anyone help me with this?

DO you use different port for each computer (and the correct port forwarding ) ?
