Battlefield 1942 not working in LAN

Hey,

I recently bought the deluxe version of Battlefield 1942 which includes the original version plus the road to rome expansion pack. Well I installed it on both my pcs thinking I was going to play on a LAN, but the cd is required for both copies. So I went over to Gamecopyworld.com but their highest patch only works on version 1.45 So I go to EA's website and they only have 1.5, they have discarded the old 1.45 patches. The cd won't let me duplicate it (even in Nero) so I'm kind of stuck. Anyone else have this problem?

The only way I know you could do it, is to install road to rome on one computer and regular bf on the other and just play the the non exp version.But you do need another cd key to do that

The CDs work fine mounted with Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%. You only need the Road to Rome disk to play both sets of maps.
