Is spearhead\Mohaa, setup so two comps using a router can play online at the sametime?. If the answer is yes, then to play only spearhead online, must both comps be running two sets of of retail games, i.e Mohaa & Spearhead? Or will the servers let you play if both comps are runnnig same CD key for Mohaa, but two seperate retail Spearhead games\W two CD keys?
CD keys are only used for installation of the game. There is no CD verification check by the server of any kind.
Depending on your router, start only one game at a time. Let the game connect then start the other one.
You may have to check with your router's manufacture. To see if you need a firmware upgrade. Old linksys routers needed to be upgraded to the latest firmware.
I run a Spearhead server on the weekends. I have a computer that I use as a dedicated server and two other computers that can connect with LAN. Across my cable I can only host 8 clients, but still have a ball. Check it out at 65.26.83.215

Thanks for the info..heh should have asked before I popped for the $20 for another copy of spearhead. I did try prior to my post\buying 2nd copy, each time I would join a server with one comp, then join the same game with my 2nd comp, the 2nd comp would not load but instead go back to main menu screen...Of course It now works...lol, join server, pick side, then weapon, then join with 2nd comp..bingo! I just figured with the cd keys I needed another copy of SH...wrong! We play AAO, Vietcong, GR, with both comps, but those games have no CD keys. Thanks again.
