We tried running a cable between each machine (Network Adapter to Network Adapter) but it didn't work. Do I need a router? Or a switch? Does the router need to be connected to the internet? I don't have broadband but my understanding is that I don't need one to play head to head over a LAN. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's great. Thanks a lot. One more question though. Would you recommend a hub or a router (bear in mind that I will not be playing on the internet, only over a LAN). And where can I get one? Thanks.
