If you have all 3 of your pc's networked together you should be able to go into UT2003 and launch a server using the host game button and make sure the "LAN Game" box is checked and then click on "launch dedicated server" and then you should be able to go into "Join Game > LAN" on the other 2 computers and your server will appear.

If your pc's are not networked together go into "host game" and make sure the "lan box" is unchecked and launch it as a dedicated server on the internet and you should be able to find it on the other 2 computers in the looooong list of "Join Game > Internet"

btw a dedicated server is when you cant play on the server from the machine the dedicated server has been launched from.

Rampage summed it up just right.
All 3 comps can play together. You dont need one of them to be a dedicated server. You can use the UT2003 servers and make a room with a pw that only you guys know. Then find the game and enter..
IF you make one a dedicated server you cannot use it.

As for playing other games together, it is the same situation. The games 1st must be multi player. You would need to connect to the servers provided for the game.

Also, you can't play the computer games like x-box games and join the consoles together. But most computer games are online anyway, so you just meet up in a room and play.
