How can I play a game on my 2 computers ( ethernet) with one copy of the game? I have tried and failed. The second computer wants its own copy even when I try to run off the same cd-rom drive and hard drive. Am I doing something wrong here or do I have to have 2 copies of each game?

Here are a couple of things you could try.
Making a copy, but some games only allow 1 serial # at a time to be used. You could also look for a cd crack.
Some games allow you to install a spawned copy.
Or you could just go buy another copy.

I'm sure there are a couple of other solutions but thats what I can think of off the top of my head.

If the game does not have the serial check, you could try using a program called Virtual Drive on one of the computers, where a virtual image of the CDROM is created on the hard drive.
