Networking problems

[demetrics]

I am trying to ran a LAN with Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth but every time I try to join my friends game, it says serial is in use. Now I am confused a little because. This is a home network with computers in my house not playing over the internet. I now this is an EA game. I can play a lan with my friends on all my other games like AVP, Warcraft III, starcraft, and aga and myth.. could some body help me.
