Simple Awnser YES

However please make sure your router is configured to assign DHCP addresses to your pc's.

For the record I have four BF2 PC's on my 3 MG Line.

I have wrote a walk thru on doing this its some where on this forum. If you need detailed help just ask back.

Here you go..... My old Post...

FACT: You can play with as many computers as your connection will support with one internet account.

FACT: I have a 3 mg x 3 meg connection at the house and we run four BF2 pc's on it at a time.

PORT FORWARDING is not the awnser.

If you can post what kind of router you have that would be great. Just reply here and we will get you going.

In a nutshell. Lets say your using a DSL connection with PPOE.

(Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet is a proposal specifying how a host personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc) to achieve access to the growing number of High speed data networks.)

Go into your router config and setup your router for PPOE. input your user ID and password. Your router will then conect to your IP and negotiate a IP address for your router. Setup your router for DHCP, don't forget to assign the ranges. Its a good Idea that if you have wireless at your house to limit the amount of addresses your DHCP sever will hand out. Example. If you have four machines set your DHCP to hand out only five addresses. 168.0.0.1 - 168.0.0.5. Its also a good idea to pick a ip range different from the standard 192.168.X.X ranges. (Security Reasons)

Once this is all done reboot the router and then each PC. Your PC's should get a IP from the router (Both different from each other) and then your good to go.

Well my batt is almost dead in my laptop so I will post more later.
