One of my "friends" often gets irate after I win, or sometimes even frag him once, in a QuakeIII game (immature, I know).

To the ICMP priority on that router... I'm no where near that network and I was able to ping it (sent 1000 packets).

Although I don't have the data anymore, there was no packet loss and averaged about 70ms to me (S.E. FL RR network).

You only need a unique port for online gaming.

Gaming from multiple computers using the same IP address is fine, unless the game server you are connecting to uses some sort of "only allow one connection per ip" as a cheat prevention technique.
