Yes. LAN Stands for Local Area Network, which is a small group of computers. WWW stands for the world wide web, which infers a very large network of computers.
You can have as many users you want on an enterprise network provided you have the ip address range for any number of applications. This can be unlimited if properly designed by using sub net addressing or by using a deferred addressing techniques. However care must be taken and follow strict designed rules otherwise there can be clash of addressing standards.

Buy a lan router, they can be used with lan cable or wireless to connect all your computers through a network. If there are only two computers that you wish to connect then you only need on lan cable which you connect in the back of each of those two computers to create a network.
You know what a LAN is. Its a small group of computers all hooked up together. These computers are all hooked together by wires. And its the LAN card (nic as its more commonly known) that the wire plugs into in the computer.
