LAN playing

Hi guys, i've a question.. i've just installed EF mod and well, i wanted to know if it's realyy needed to have a internet connection to play the game.. it's just very bodering..

you can play skirmish or LAN without internet. for automatch or other stuff you need internet, simple as that ;)

but i can'y even enter de game without internet.. it sais that i need to be logged in relic..

Do you have a game CD? With it in your C drive you should be able to access the game without needing the internet connection

no, i've bought it via steam..

And you can play regular CoH with no problems, playing LAN and using all other features?

yes, i run steam in offline mode, i can play CoH ToV in LAN

Hrmm quite interesting, I would suggest posting this inquiry on the Technical Issues Board as this is probably beyond me (I had a similar problem when my internet had issues and I wanted to play, and it kept rejecting me from the server, so I just accessed via disk).
