It might be possible if you manually moved the files to the game folder of the hosting computer and after hosting to the other computers' game folders... But that slows it down. It might be possible to launch multiple copies of the same DomII executable through LAN, though, and that could work too if it doesn't slow things down too much.

Actually I think the CD Key would prevent this, although I can't say for sure as I've never tried it, and won't be trying it in the future. I also believe (though I could be mistaken) that such a process would violate the license agreement.

On my Linux LAN, I once tried to have the game launched multiple time on the same machine, but with displays on different machines. It worked, technically, but the slowdown (like, OpenGL over the LAN) was so slow it would serve as an excellent copy protection.

(that was just testing - I was the only one before the various computers)
