Netplay connectivity issue

[Arkstar]

Hello,
I am trying to host a netplay session, but I am having trouble getting everyone to connect. The thing is, me and my one friend are playing on the same computer. But the other person is connecting via netplay. When I launch a netplay session (with two controllers connected in the control menu) only 1 connects, not my friend who is sitting next to me, lol. The third guy has no trouble connecting via netplay, but I can't figure out how to get the last guy in. I've tried everything, even launching two dolphin clients, but to no prevail. Has anyone had this (obscure) issue and what did you do to fix it?

Thanks,
Ark

What is your controller config? I think you need to have a 3rd "plugged in".
