I have two computers in my room and they are connected through ethernet cards so that I can do some gaming with friends in my room without internet. Now, I dont have to go out and buy the games all over again so that I can play do I?

You could just burn the games so you have 2 copies. One copy for each computer.

I have a file that allows me to do this but it is 1.5mb and floppys only let 1.4mb I dont have a burner. Is there anyway around this?

Do a search through Tucows and get a file splitter program. Lets you split and recombine files.Over your network you can just share files but need an CD emulator to run some games w/o the disk being in the drive.

I have to say this - read the licensing agreement for the game. If it says one license, one machine we can't help you copy the game except for a backup.

You can use winzip to span across two floppies, when you go to create a new zip from within winzip, select the floppy drive, and the span across removable media option should be enabled for you to select.

If you have the install program, just send it across the network to the other computer, and install it from there. Why use a floppy and go through all that hassle when the machines are already hooked together???
