RE: John Tiller DRM!!!
I assume you didn't replace any components in your laptop recently, particularly your hard drive. Some programmers protect their application's licensing by taking advantage of your hard drive's unique identifier number. Unfortunately if you replace your hard drive, those apps will no longer work unless can you re-register them or change your disk ID number back to what the previous one was.

Just a wild guess here, but perhaps Modern War's serial number gets associated with the MAC address of your network card. MAC addresseses are unique numerical identifiers and your wireless network connection will have a different MAC address from your wired network connection. (I don't work for JTS or HPS, this is just a guess by me that they might associate the installation/serial number with the MAC address, particularly since they asked about your Internet connections.)

You might try installing Modern War while connected to the Internet in the same fashion as when you had first installed it. In other words, if you first installed Modern War while you had an Internet cable plugged into your laptop, try disconnecting or disabling your wireless connection and install Modern War while you are plugged directly into the network. If you first installed Modern War while connected wirelessly, try unplugging your network cable and install Modern War while connected wirelessly.

HTH,
Rabbit
