Yes-
A router which has more than one ethernet socket (usually marked "LAN"), where your computers plug in has a built-in "hub" or "switch" function which allows all the devices plugged in to communicate between them.
Thus two computers plugged into the same router will be able to communicate with each other even if the internet connection (which comes through the actual router and is also connected to the internal hub) is not plugged in or active.
This will allow "file sharing" between the two computers with Windows, and also will allow the computers to play LAN games.

Help with playing wow on shared network hi can anyone help me and my girlfriend play warcraft togtherwe have a wireless connectionand only 1 of us can play.i think its something to do with ip.?
Well, I think what you're trying to say is only one of you can play at a time? Well the thing is with WoW you can only have one person playing the same account at one time, and account sharing with anyone else is disallowed by the ToS (Terms of Service). You both need to be playing on different computers, on a different account, with both of you having a stable internet connection. Best of luck!
What can computer do?
What /can't/ a computer do? In theory, computers can do any "computation" which is a fancy way of saying they can take numerical input, perform mathematical operations on them, and then return numerical output. Of course, people don't like numerical input and output, so we've invented fancy ways to encode things like text and pictures into numbers, so we can have our computers do stuff like spell check and send things over the internet. Most people use computers for word processing (typing and editing stuff), surfing the internet (getting articles and pictures from other people's computers), and playing games.
