Bungee games decided that Halo will requires a unique CD key for each
computer that connects to a multiplayer game, including LAN games..

Ok we did the same thing, we did go out and buy a 2nd game for an upstairs
computer. Now my question is this. Can we play or join in a game that my
son has going on the XBox and connect to it from a PC?

Thanks

Not yet, and not with Halo.

But Microsoft are working on technology for Windows Vista and the Xbox 360
which will allow this. The first game to make use of it will be Shadowrun I
believe.
