C#

using AForge.Video;
public MJPEGStream[] VideoStream = new MJPEGStream[2];        
private string[] MetaUrl = {"http://192.168.0.3/video.cgi?","http://192.168.0.2/video.cgi?"};
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < VideoStream.Length; i++)
            {
                VideoStream[i] = new MJPEGStream();
                VideoStream[i].Source = MetaUrl[i];
                VideoStream[i].Login = "admin";
                VideoStream[i].Password = "";
            }
        }
 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < VideoStream.Length; i++)
            {
                VideoStream[i].Start();
                VideoStream[i].NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler(VideoStream_NewFrame1);
                k = i;
            }
        }
  public int k=0;
  private void VideoStream_NewFrame1(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
        {            
            Bitmap FrameData = new Bitmap(eventArgs.Frame);
            PictureBox[] box = new PictureBox[2];
            box[0] = pictureBox1;
            box[1] = pictureBox2;
            box[k].Image = FrameData;            
        }

thank you master....

Not sure this will solve your problem, but when you create the event handler for the NewFrame event

C#

VideoStream[i].NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler(VideoStream_NewFrame1);

you will end up using the same method for both cameras.
This means that you need to make use of the sender parameter to figure out which camera is calling the method.

C#

[Updated]
using AForge.Video;
public MJPEGStream[] VideoStream = new MJPEGStream[2];        
private string[] MetaUrl = {"http://192.168.0.3/video.cgi?","http://192.168.0.2/video.cgi?"};
private PictureBox[] boxes;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    boxes = new PictureBox[VideoStream.Length];
    for (int i = 0; i < VideoStream.Length; i++)
    {
        VideoStream[i] = new MJPEGStream();
        VideoStream[i].Source = MetaUrl[i];
        VideoStream[i].Login = "admin";
        VideoStream[i].Password = "";
        boxes[i].Tag = VideoStream[i];
    }
}

[Updated]
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < VideoStream.Length; i++)
    {
        VideoStream[i].Start();
        VideoStream[i].NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler(VideoStream_NewFrame1);
    }
}

private void VideoStream_NewFrame1(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
    [Updated]
    MJPEGStream vs = (sender as MJPEGStream); // I think MJPEGStream will be the type
    if (vs != null)
    {
        Bitmap FrameData = new Bitmap(eventArgs.Frame);
        foreach (PictureBox box in boxes)
        {
            if ((MJPEGStream)box.Tag == vs) // You might have to modify this comparison.
            {
                box.Image = FrameData;
                break;
            }
        }
    }     
}

If the class MJPEGStream contains a Tag property, it would be easier to use that.

i try edit your solution, and it's work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. thank you master George Jonsson, here the code i have edited from your code...

C#

     {
          //  boxes = new PictureBox[VideoStream.Length]; //it's make boxes is always null 
          boxes[0] = pictureBox1;
          boxes[1] = pictureBox2; 
          ...
          ...
     }

private void VideoStream_NewFrame1(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
          ...
          ...
         //breaks; it makes only one ip camera is viewed...
