well i clicked on it and it took me i clicked download it said i needed to register so i did then it said in order to finish registration i had to take a couple of special offers which costed money.

Look at the bottom of the page, there should be a "No thanks" option. It's kind of small, the idea being that they don't want you to see it, and instead shell out on some special offer crap.

Just look around the page for that checkbox. I know there is one, because I'm a member of DriverGuide, and it didn't cost me a thing.

Here is a quick, simple LAN for two people, as that's how many it sounds like you are going to have.

Step one:
Buy a router or switch. Hubs cause packet collisions and are generally not used at LANs.

Step two:
Plug the cable modem into the router.

Step three:
Plug your computers into the router.

Step four:
To play online, open your game, go to multiplayer, select a server that you can both join and proceed to join it.

Step five:
Have fun.
