connecting from lan party

My borther and I are trying to play from a lan party.
We can join games separately but not the same game.
When he first logged in and after that I logged in, I suddenly had his username.
When afterwards, I logged in first and after that he logged in, he had my username.
How can we fix this?

https://entgaming.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=46670ENT Connect broadcasts the games to 255.255.255.255 (LAN broadcast) so if two players in same LAN are using it you'll see each other's games; this is necessary because sometimes that is the only way you can see the game on your own computer. I don't think there's good way to fix.

Well isn't the point of a LAN party to... you know? Play on normal LAN. Guess it's too late now. The LAN is probably over now so technical support might be kind of useless. I assume you were using ENT connect and if that is the case, you probably don't own a legitimate CD key. I suggest using a pvpgn like W3Arena in order to join the same game without huge problems.
