Playing games from one computer to another

[Guest]

I'm trying to find out how to play a game that you generally connect through
a LAN but using two computers that are not on a LAN. That sounded confusing.

I have two laptops, not on a network. Is it possible to play a game (ie
Ghost Recon) on multiplayer and one computer see the other computer and play
as if we were both online or hooked up to a LAN?

Not very easily at best and impossible at worst. Simply grab a couple of
NICs and a crossover or a router and a couple of straight cables and be done
with it.
