LAN means Local Area Network.
For a proper network connection, you need a router or other DHCP/static server to give each computer an IP address.
Another option is to get a "crossover cable" that will allow you to connect from one computer to another for direct connection.After connecting two CPU with crossover cables you need to change the share and security options of the folders you want to share with the other computer.Its the easiest way to connect between two computers.

How can you connect airport express to a local area network LAN without a cable modem?
both computers should have lan ports on them, use a lan cable - yellow in Australia and directly connect the two computers. At your local airport they use wireless so you will need a wireless modem (Wi-Fi)
How do you simultaneosly connect two computers to internet using a router and broadband modem?
Plug the two computers in to the router, and connect the router to the modem.The router may have two kinds of ports, one port marked WAN (Wide Area Network) and several ports marked LAN (Local Area Network). If so, the WAN port goes to the modem and the LAN ports are for your computers.That's it.
How can you connect two home computers?
Connect it for what? You could use 2 patch cables and a switch, a cross-over cable, firewire, you could connect wirelessly over a network, you could connect over a lan on a network. You could tie the two computers together with a rope or use super sticky glue. I'm not sure what you are asking.
How do you connect two computers via LAN?
If you hook up an internet cable between the two machines, they should be able to see each other. If they don't, check the network settings for a "network discovery"/"sharing" section and see if you can enable it

What connecting device do you use for a small LAN for two or more connected networks?
For a small LAN network, a switch is best. To connect two or more LAN networks, a router is required. (2) From Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ sixth edition (page #852): You can use a crossover cable to connect to computers without a switch or hub making it the simplest network of all. For two or more you will need a switch, hub, or router.
Can you play a LAN game between 2 different computers if your router is not hooked up to the Internet this game does not require the Internet when playing between the two computers?
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.
What device can you use to connect two or more computers with a single cable modem?
You can use a router, either wired (Ethernet) or wireless to connect two or more computers with a single cable modem. You would need either Category 5, 5e, or Category 6 Ethernet cables to do this. Also, you may set up a wireless Local Area Network (otherwise known as LAN) if your type of router supports that and your computer(s)/devices support it.
