On PC, look for the option that says LAN.   All other computers then need to be on your LAN.

The easiest way is to connect the PCs with a router.  The router does not need to be connected to the internet.

It is also possible using something called a cross-over cable, but you will need to look that up on the internet to find out more about that possibility.

If you have any recent ethernet cable, you can generally hook them straight in (no crossover needed).  This limits you to two machines however.
Any old router (Wired or Wi-Fi should work) will do the job.

Yep, then create a LAN server and have the other join.
