Greetings,
First of all, please refrain from using caps lock...
Anyway, are both computers using Windows XP? Make sure both of them have their XP firewalls disabled... check out Shalome's excellent guide on how to remove the XP firewall:

Keep us posted, and good luck!

Hey,
As Canis Lupus said, dont use caps lock, its annoying. Secondly. If your trying to get on battle net with both at the same time, you may have copied to CD and use the original on one computer and the copied on another computer, although installing on both with the original. If so, your problem is simple. The same cd key can not be in use twice at the same time on battle net. You will need 2 cd keys. And one question....why do you need to use it on both?.

Connecting to Battle.net througha router is like connecting twice from the same machine. It's possible, but Bnet doesn't always like it.
As Canis said: Make sure the XP firewall is disabled (it's useless anyway).
And, as Kal_Zakath said: You need separate CD Keys for each machine. However, you CAN use a burned copy of one original, but you'll still need two CD Keys during isntallation of the game.
All this applies to Starcraft, Brood War, Warcraft II: Battle.net edition, Warcraft III, Diablo 2, and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction.
Furthermore, if you intend to host game from behind the router you will need to enable port forwarding of port 6112 to one machine, and 6113 to the other machine. If you are playing Warcraft 3, you'll also need to set the port is uses to the same port you have forwarded to the machine.
For enable port forwarding, go to http://192.168.1.1 and log into your router. The default password and user name is admin.
Go to the Advanced tab, and then to Port Forwarding.
You should see two text boxes for ports, two check boxes buttons for "TCP" and "UDP", and "192.168.1." and another text box.
In the two port boxes you will type 6112 and 6112 for the first machine and 6113 - 6113 for the second machine, then check both TCP and UDP boxes, and then type in the last number for the IP address shown in the Windows > Start > Run program "ipconfig", which should be 100 for the first machine, and 101 for the second.
Hopefully this is all written clearly, as it is 2:20 AM, and I think I'm getting tired.
