Yes you can. Just select multiplayer and then LAN. One player hosts the game
and the other joins using IP's assigned by your router.

Thanks a lot, but I still have a problem. Using my computer, I create a LAN
game. But when he goes to join the game, the list of servers is empty. We
can't figure it out.

We have a D-Link DI-604 router (with Gaming Mode enabled) and the most
recent 1.04 patch for Halo. Can anyone offer any other advice? Thanks.

As he said, use the IP assigned by the router. If you don't know what that
is, go to the machine that is serving the game and bring up a command
prompt, and type

ipconfig

You'll see the address displayed (eg 192.168.1.100)

Then, on the other machine select "direct IP" not lan game or internet game.
Put in the IP you found above, and join the game.

What they are telling you isn't true. If you are using the router to share
an internet connection, it is not a lan (network). You would select direct
connect to enter ip and play that way.
