only against each other in LAN, otherwise he must buy the license for himself

Should be fine - the de Jong's were ok on Sunday
ok lol, maybe i misunderstood, but i thought that playing on same license at same time requires two licenses?

pff, i should read :doh:, sorrys guys
ok Beware Gwardy will be hitting the track ... Really Beware ive raced him over lan and ...
Hmmm. I'm not a expert or anything when it comes to networking. But how come it's possible that the two computers have same IP?

When the computers are in the same network and using the same connection, they still should have two separate IP's. Or am I missing something?

IE. if you try to connect two different computers to same LAN network, even Windows doesn't allow you to try connecting with IP what's already in use.
IIRC if both computers are running directly from the same router, then there will only be one IP address.

thats what my concern was , ive done things before and it wouldent work for that reason
I have done it before, gimme 5 and I'll report back
Well umf, we usually have a one router and the IP's ain't the same. Even in LAN we may use a router to have a internet connection and at the same time we are on same workgroup (file sharing etc.) and it's not possible to have same IP. It is dynamically configured for everyone. When we have more than two computers in just LAN, we use router too and then we have static IP's, Windows will give an error if some trys to use IP what's already in use.

Shouldn't two different computers be identified separately with individual IP's even when they aren't in the same workgroup?

Maybe I'm just confused.

The 2 computers have different internal IP addresses (like 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3) so they can be identified on the internal network by each other and the router. However, to the outside world both the computers have the same external IP address. It's only when packets come to the router that they are sent to each computer by the internal IP address. If I go to WhatIsMyIp.com with 2 of the machines from my home network they both show the same IP address.
no problem done it several times
my brother used to game by every Friday and we raced on ctra at the same time
and i even have done it with a third computer with a demo licence and 2x S2
At the Swedish karting meet last year, all twenty-odd of us joined an online server from (I believe) behind one IP.
You probably have a switch/router at your place and it will work without any troubles.

Well thanks for the info, I learn new stuff every day...

But lol wtf, we have two computers running currently in this house and when I checked the whatismyip.com, it gives both of them a different IP and it's the same IP what Windows is telling me too.
