Trying to play doom3 and Call of Duty lan with my daughter, but cant get it to work. I suspect the cd-key is preventing me from doing this. Do i need to purchase a copy for each computer?

Have you tried to ping the computers?

I think the game makers want you to buy one per PC. I have 3 PCs networked, and most games will require more then one copy to work over a LAN.

I don't have these games, so I don't know if this is your problem. If you are getting a message about CD keys, it may the the problem. If you are just not seeing the other PCs on your LAN, it may be a firwall blocking the game from using the network.

If you have a cd burner, burn the cd and use them both, one in each pc. I have a few LAN games that I have done that with and it works fine for me.
