2 Computers.. 2 Keyes... 1 Router

I have two computers in my household. Both have counter strike on
them. I bought two different CD keyes... the steam program wont let
me in the same server on both computers.

I understand this question has been asked before but it is very
confusing...it seems everyone has a different method of making it
work.

Not knowing much about networking... how can I get it so both my
counter strike games will work at the same time?

Can someome post a un-confusing... laymans terms... step by step...
"for dummies" way to solving my problem?

Thanks!

Although this wont help you, I have the same set up here, 2 PC`s a lap top
and 3 copies of half-life (for the keys) and one router. The set up here
runs fine, all I did was install STEAM on both comps and lap top ensuring I
used each different key on each of the computers, I have had no problems.

When you attempt to join a server that the other computer is connected to,
what message do you get for not being allowed to join?

It's just not letting me on. It will attempt to connect to a server
all day but never will...

Your router has a built in firewall. You need to RT*M and access the Admin
options to open some ports.
