Give us some more info on how you are connected and we can try to help.
How are you connected to the internet? Are you sharing aconnection and if so, how?

eatthis: i think i know what is the problem only if u have a dsl or cable then here is your answer--when u use a network and u have a dsl or cable u can only play with one computer on MOH becasue your internet connection has only 1 IP only for 1 computer and so u can only play with one computer but if you would buy your own server for just $80-$90 per month and then you could of play on 2 computer beuse the gaming server will give you the IP for the server and you would steel have the IP for your other comuper so besicly 1 computer is using gaming server IP and the other you coble or dsl provider IP

i am connected throught to the internet through a cable modem and a linksys 4 port router. i believe it is possible to forward ports on the router to allow me to open up the internal ip addresses but i dont know which ones to open. i am going to email linksys to see what i can do also.

You arent running Connection Sharing thru windows are you?
If you have any number of computers on a lan, you shouldnt have any problem playing on a server thats outside your network (not really much different than bothe your lan machines going to the same webpage). I do it at home, at work all teh time. No ports to forward unless YOU are running a server.
Can you surf the web from both machines? Sounds like your internal network is not configured correctly. You need to either enable NAT or give all your computers static IPs.
If you dont know how to do this we can help.

as i'm sure you know you have IP ports for the internet, and this is how we connect to games servers...

You have a SECOND IP ADDRESS for LAN networks... you should make sure the numbers you have 192.68.0.1 (default) are NOT the same number ports, if they are then you'll kick each other when you try to connect, fix the IP address in both computers to the same number +1... that should solve the problem, as now your computers will not use the same ports to comunicate.

Also check your internet connection sharing is ON
