Problems with multiplayer gaming...

Hey... Sorry to bother you again, see, I have in one pc the Myth TFL game installed and updated with the Project Magma 1.5 updater, I created an account on marius net with the same name that I created this (Boagrious), in a few words, in that pc the game is ready to play in multiplayer.... But, then I thought "Maybe I can burn my CD of Myth TFL, make a copy, install it on another pc I have and play with my brother online"...
Sounded easy, the game doesn't have a serial number or the need to be cracked, so I burned it, installed and update it on the other pc (a laptop)... Also I created another account in marius net using a different email adress and a different login and display name... Me and my brother logged in (he with the first account I created and me with the new one) to the multipayer and I tried to create a game in "Madrigal"... Well, I created it and when he clicked on the "Join" button, several minutes passed until a small message appeared: "Myth cannot log in, error-(numbers I don't remember) because the game won't accept more players or its behind a firewall" or something like that.... So, we desactivated the firewalls in both computers, tried again, but it appeared the same message... Then we tried in "Stone Heart", with the same results... And, in the middle of a final attempt, my brother was kicked out of the Join Game screen, with the message "Your account is already in use"...

Maybe there are some things I missed while this whole process... If you have any suggestion or help, I would really appreciate it...
-My internet service is this way: The internet is not by telephone, its trhough a cable that is connected to a modem that also gives the line for the phone, the ethernet cable that comes out of it is connected to a router that gives wireless signal and LAN ports for more pc's; so the internet in one computer is trhough a cable that comes out of the router, and the other is by the wireless signal that also comes out from the same router... I believe it's called Internet by cable..
-Maybe one problem would be that both accounts I created on marius net have the same password, but different name...
-I do know that making illegal copies of games is not cool, but I was almost desperate to play in the Myth multiplayer...
-If there is something in this large text that you don't understand, please excuse my poor english, I am of a country that speaks spanish and there are things that I don't know yet and are obstacles for me to express myself correctly...

Thanks...

Your english is fine, but you wrote a lot. :P Two computers from the same place will not be able to play in the same game on MariusNet, because they share the same IP. There is no way around this unless one is connected through a different internet connection. If you two want to play together you can always LAN. If you wish to know how to LAN for Myth go to this Myth Starter Guide and click on the question about LAN.

Not what you asked, but you can also play with more people in multiplayer games with you and your brother - even if you are both sharing the same internet connection - the only limitation is either you or your brother has to HOST the game, and you have to play via TCPIP instead of Mariusnet.
