I am trying to play DayZ with a friend. (not working) ((obviously))

Ok, so, my friend bought Operation Arrowhead from the main Arma 2 website. First off, it took a long time for him to even be able to run DayZ. Now he can, but only when I'm not on the server. Ok, so I'm going to clarify a little. At his house he has dial up, so he can't play unless he is at my house. When he is at my house and we both try to play while I'm already on the server, he gets kicked when he tries to connect. If I'm not on the server, he can connect, but he spawns where I left off with all my gear and my stats. If someone could help me with this, it would be great. We think it has something to do with the ip being the same, but if there is a fix. Well thanks ahead of time to any responses.

It isn't the IP, but the CD key. I'm not sure how to do this off of steam, I hope there is still a way to do it.

You'll need to save your current key (or his, if his were the last launched) from the registry, and then re-install using your account, then export the registry CD key file.

I think this should cover it:

I hope your problem gets fixed.
