    Panda, I checked the address on both computers on Google, and confirmed that both share the same address. I don't get it. It's fine for Minecraft but not for Terraria.

    You did not check the actual IP addresses of the computers, just your public IP. And all Google can see your public, routable, IP address given to you by your ISP. It can see the router but not the computers behind it. That's where NAT / port translation comes in. Check your IP on the computers themselves.

    Panda is correct.All your pc's on your local (home) network are sharing the same public IP your ISP has given you.
    If you login to your router you will see the IP's assigned to your machines on your home network without having to check the individual IP's on each actual pc you have on your network..............but they're all sharing the same public IP (provided by your ISP).
