To add on to @EA_Atic's post, make sure each PC has a distinct IP.

Hi @warman001,
Do you have any program that talk with each PC on the network by any chance?
Does tabbing back in work or is more of a crash?
/Atic@warman001some software thats installed at all pc? home network, or some private chat software , anything thats installed to "communicate / connect" with other pc's ?
Try to disable the ingame overlays/notifications of Origin/EA Desktop.
@warman001and if ya all start game without teamspeak, then same problem ?
Origin and BF2042 also got audio/voip chat , maybe they got an conflict with each other !Disable all audio/voip chat you dont use ! (in app and/or game)
In windows settings / PRIVACY AND SECURITY , select MICROPHONE
you can disable/enable apps for microphone !!!
