    Yeah man, ive a 2nd crappy PC in my room and everynow and then my m8 would knock down and bring his 3d card and ram and we get some drink and play some drunken bf2. However if your talking about u can a friend playing online at the same time you both of you have to have your own legal copys of bf2 IE two legal CD keys.

    Dont forget the beer, and make sure the router has a 4 port switch.

    If its the standard eircom router u got, what I do is plug it into my main pc with the usb cable and then use a network wire to connect my other pc to the router. Whats a 4 port switch?
