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

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.

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 (http://whatismyip.com/) with 2 of the machines from my home network they both show the same IP address.

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.
