We finally did it. We sort of have a network at home! 
We linked our pc with my dads laptop via a hub. I didn't expect mutch of the laptop since games are usually unplayable. But he does the trick, we can even play Quake 3 against eachother.
But the games we play are much of the same, Quake and Half-Life. We tried Midtown Madness 2 but it doesn't work somehow.
So we are thinking about more fun game to play on our lan. But we are kind of idealess. (this is where you come in )
What games are fun to play on a network? (anything  ) Don't worry about system recurements (sp?), if it doesn't work... we'll find out!
edit: Feel free to share fun network gaming experiences , perhaps it will even help thinking of games.

Now now now. It's fantastic. Capture the flag's cool too, and using cheats to make the game ultra fast and frantic is always good. Plus you wouldn't believe the satisfaction of hearing that deep manly voice saying.....
Head Shot...Head Shot..Double Kiilllll....

Firstly, I love the Leon avatar Rob-hin. Great film and great picture
As for games over LAN, all I ever seem to play is Quake III and Unreal Tournament. (Head shot...Head shot...MMMOOONNNSSSTTTEEERRR KILL!!!!!). Oh well...Age Of Empires or Red Alert is good if you're into that sort of thing...

@Dottie, anything that is fun.
@frogus and Kameleon, UT is a good idea. Been thinking about that too. But I've got 2 first person shooters already. I'm kinda looking for something else. (but feel free to chat about it , there is no no spam policy)
(Leon is cool, isn't he
Too bad hitman is single player only)

Personal favourite is UT, a recent addition to my mod list has been Bullet time, well worth keeping an eye out for The mutators is one of the things that makes UT so very excellent
What about a rallying game like Colin Mcrae 2, i found the netcode a little buggy, but all round it is pretty good to network with lots of different options. Midtown Madness is a good laugh as well.
Ground Control is excellent for both single and multi play.

Oh yeah - GTA2 is a laugh for a while in multiplayer...
Sleep (or anyone) have you ever played InstaGib JumpMatch Low Gravity on DM_Morpheus, with 100% air control? That rocks, as well as a bit of sniping on CTF_FacingWorlds. Hehehe.

Ghost Recon and Desert Siege. It's a different sort of first person shooter. You play multiplayer missions as a team. The AI is the best I've seen in a first person shooter. enemies feigning death, others laying down suppressing fire while a select few move in to take you out execution style. It really is a lot of fun, especially with zero respawns.

Delta Force 2 (i dunno about 3 - haven't played it) one-on-one.
the tension is painful 
oh, and diablo 2 is quite interesting if you finally want to find out if you really could kick your mate's whack ass with your level 23 b'stard-lunatic. or if you want an infinite supply of perfect gems and a pool of nice items.

If you only have to computers connected I would prefer strategy before shooters, but thats just me.
If you have alot of patience Close Combat 4 or 5 is fun, 4 focus more on armour and have slightly better maps while 5 will give you more controle over you force pool.
If you have endless supply of time I must recomend Europa Universalis 2, The problem with this game is that the computer is rather stupid so having another human player makes it much more interesting (as always) But it eats alot of time in multiplay.
Operation Flashpoint isnt a strategy game but would be great fun with only 2 players if there were more cooperative missions. Perhaps its possible to download such things and in that case It would be great.

Another vote for UT... it is soooo much better than Quake 3 (IMO)  But hey, you could always MP Baldurs Gate...
