I myself have played over both a serial port connection and a network
and have run into very similar problems, rather than being a hardware
problem I think its the fact that the demo is crap.

I usually get both players on top of a mountain in the desert scenario
and in the ice world? scenario one player dosen't get any scenery, just
a flat surface, and has the ability (when viewed from the other
computer) to run through hills etc.

I have the same problem although I put it down to the fact that one of
the computers only has 8 MB of RAM usually I get a warning that RAM is
low, which is somewhat strange considering you can play the same game
twice over, the first time fine, the second time it crashs or gives me
this RAM crap.

Thats what the latest patch is supposed to fix I believe it can be
obtained at ftp://ftp.crl.com/users/sl/slally/MW2GIDDI.EXE or you can
email that ACTSEARCH guy and he will email it back to you.

You should probably try reading the actual MW2 newsgroup, although many
servers (including mine) don't carry it.

In my opinion the sooner Activsion get the Net Mech upgrade out the
better, they are only loosing sales and public image by continued
delays.
