it is possible to connect laptops together on a lan, however they may not have built in lan connections, so you may need to buy a pcma or whatever card type it is( i don't do laptops :rolleyes: )

You dont need a router for a normal lan, a router is just if you want to have an internet connection shared. Otherwise your fine with a hub or better a switch.
