Counter strike problem on home network with 2 comps.

[CrowDog]

I have 2 comps hooked the cheap way, with a crossover cable. I want to be able to join a public CS server on both comps at the same time with one cd key. I keep getting a cd key already in use error. I know this is possible with one copy of CS because Ive seen it done..I just cant get ahold of the person that knew how to do it. I guess I gotta get both comps through one ip...

anyone got any ideas?

It only works if you both join different cs rooms, not the same one.

Hmm..you sure? Because as I said Ive been at someones house that had it working and Im positive they had only one cd key.

i've done that before...
use one cd-key for two computers.
but ... it's been awhile...
it could also just be the 1.3 update to cs... that's making this not possible anymore.

check on some cs forums.

well as far as i know, the only way to use one key on two computers is creating a lan game, but only the computers on the lan will work, cd keys are cheap though, like $10-20, if you can figure out how to do it with one cd key , please tell me how you did it...

The 1.3 patch does NOT allow you to use the same cdkey on 1 server. Sorry, it just wont happen!

What could be better than telling the cold, hard truth to some lame @$$ trying to get something for nothing, I wonder?

lol, go to electronics boutique, buy the game, get the cd key, take it back, or yea, just buy the game

LOL,

My issue was trying to see if I could do it with one cd key...just to see if I could. Thats all...wasent trying to scam the world or start an orginized scam cs cd key crime ring. I simply wanted to know if it could be done.....no big deal.


Jeezus christ! LOL.....what have I become????
