Hey all,
I was wondering is there a way to play a game, more specifically Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars, on two computers at the same time. What I would like to do is play against friends or bro in multiplayer. So I am not asking is there a way to play the game both at the same time doing our own campaigns, because I am pretty sure I can do that by just sharing the dvd-drive ( I think anyway, haven't tried it ).
We are on the same network, same os, however only different types of systems.

Sharing DVD wont do the trick. There is a way actually but i afraid i may end up teaching you the way of the Pirates! You will need another disk to play on different PC.
i dont have a copy of CnC3...yet. Anyway try this, run the game on one PC first insert the disk when asked. When the game already in the main menu, remove the disk and run the game on the other computer using the other disk. I dunno whether this may work, but its worth a try.

C&C RA2 came with two CDs. Check if C&C3 does. Install it on both machines, give the second cd to friend. My friend and I both had a set, we would do 4 players with ease.
I can't get my mail, is the server down?
No, the power is out.
