I have another wifi enabled pc,which i use to access internet through the router.
Now i want to play Co-op games with my brother using these two desktops.

A switch, like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-GS105UK-Gigabit-Unmanaged-Ethernet/dp/B0000E5SEQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429786611&sr=8-1&keywords=4+port+switch Router to switch for Internet, then a wire from both PC's into the switch

Thanks for helping....but i have those ports in my router. Actually i wanted to do this wirelessly with the router (sorry that i didn't mention).Is that possible ?

Wireless is possible, you just have to make sure that both of the computers are connected to the same workgroup,
You don't have to configure anything on the router itself

Assuming this is a typical home router they are already on the same Lan and should be able to communicate fine, you can test this by pinging each others ip address.

There is sometimes an option on the wireless for clients operating in "isolated mode" meaning they are not allowed to talk to each other, this should be unticked.

This.
OP, what router do you have (model name wise)?

Urumiko · Apr 24, 2015

Oh wait.. hang on... this is hard to understand.. the router is not wireless. you want to connect the 2nd PC via wireless?

Can you state again clearly what method of connection you have on the 2 PC's and what you want to do?

If you want to separate your wired and wireless users, you can try to enable different DHCP Pools， and set SSID Isolation. Here is one application of ssid for reference if you want. http://uttglobal.com/default.asp?id=3511#sthash.aqrmArZK.dpbs

Are you running any firewall software?

Ah right.

With a lot of old games, the multiplayer bit relies on either parts of direct X called "Direct Play" which no longer exist, or servers etc that are no longer there.

Check out a program called "Game ranger" it supports these games and will allow you to use multiplayer. I used to use it for Age of empires 2 etc.
