SHARING----AFTER-EFFECTs

[maxed]

Okay i am the same guy that just had problems getting my network up and running,i logged on to my computers but was unable to acces each otheres pc's,the problem i had found out was that i FORGOT to disable the firewall (zona Alarm)...Let this be a lesson to everyone out there.....lol

Anyway the reason is started this topic was,How do i play netwrk games with my two pc's?????. i mean ,the game i want to play is warcraft 3, i have it installed on both pcs, but only 1 can have the cd at a time,so how do i play a network game????


do i share the cd-drive or something?????

You mean network game right? I mean you try to play in 2 or more computer without going online (via LAN). It's simple very network game usually need one valid cd key in each machine, if there are 2 same keys the games will refuse to play. If only on network, i advice you to get some keygen and generate different key to install on other comp.
I know it's illegall but i think that the best ways.
And dont do this trick for playing online, you will get banned for illegal keys, so used this, just for playing on your 2 comp in your house.
Hope helps.
Sorry for my bad english, m not very good!

Don't disable the firewall to get into your own other PC. Rather in Zonalarm is a setting where you can enter the IP-address (like 192.168.0.1) of the other PC's that are allowed on your network.
I used to have ZA but can't remember anymore how this was done.
You have to enter these IP-addresses on each PC in your network.

And i am trying to play a network game (lan) with my two networked computers,but what i wanted to now was if there was any other way to get to play warcraft 3 on lan without buying another version, just for the cd-key (or as u said using a keygen)???????

No legal ways. When you bought the game you bought the liscence to install it on 1 computer at a time only.

WCIII doesn't support spawning

Does Warcraft III support spawning?
No, the retail version does not include spawning. Each player must purchase their own copy of Warcraft III in order to play multiplayer games.

You can always play StarCraft. I know it supports Spawning of a another copy that can can join games created by the parent copy. I believe that you can have up to 8 playing off one copy(check the FAQ at Blizzard for more details on it)
