Ubi posted this either in the patch or on their website, but you need to change the port that the other PC uses to get to the CD validation server. I have 4 PC's behind a router and this works like a charm!
Open the Ravenshield.ini file, it is in:
\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\RavenShield\SYSTEM
Under the "[R6GameService.R6GSServers]" heading, locate the entry for "m_iCDKeyClientPort=5777" Each computer on the LAN will need to have a unique port number after the 'equals' sign. For example, if you had three computers on the network, you could leave one computer using the port 5777, one using 5776, and the third using 5775.
NOTE: We strongly suggest that you move backwards by one port number per computer. The reason for this is that if you decide to run a server, the game will need to use port 5778 to validate the cd keys as a server.
So leave yours alone and change the second computer to:
m_iCDKeyClientPort=5776

Also about 5 more lines down is this
m_iRSCDKeyPort=5777
I think it may be new with the 1.5 patch and I believe it also must be changed. So you would have
m_iCDKeyClientPort=5776
m_iRSCDKeyPort=5776
I was having the same problem when my girlfriend and I tried to play after patching to 1.5. Changed the second line and everything worked. Good Luck
Also you might need to open ports on your router if you have not already.
