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.

thanks fot the advice,I will do that to Zone Alarm.

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)???????

WCIII doesn't support spawning

okay so if i want to play on a netwrok game i'll have to buy another version, or use "other" ways.Do u guys know of any good rts or racing games that support muliplayer gaming ,without the need to buy another copy??

thanks for your help guys

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)

Thanks i have got starcraft,i think i'll try that

thanks
