playing video games over a network

I am trying to play a video game over my home network. The problem is I need to put the game disk in on each computer in order to start the video game and I only have one disk for each video game. I've tried burning these games but for some reason I can't. Have the video game manufacturers done something to the disk? If so what can I do to solve the problem? I have never tried to play video games over my network so any infomation would be helpful.

Dear Mr. Brownstone: My recommendation to you is that you spend more time calling your girlfriend and emailing her than playing computer video games. This way, all your problems will be solved! Hope this helps!! Happy 7 months!! I 3 YOU!!! XO Kristine

legally, you need to buy a copy for each PC.

You can create a clone cd image using a software called clonecd (search google for it). You can then copy this file to any network computers you wish and from each computer you can mount it as a virtual drive which will emulate a cdrom. You can do this using a software called daemon-tools (search google for it also). As BrADmatt previously mentioned, however, the legal thing to do would be to purchase a copy for each networked pc.
