Can you play LAN games with only one game?

Well, the topic nearly says it all. I wanted to know if it is possible to install my version of HL2 on the computer of my brother, update it there and then play in LAN against him (with Steam in Offline-mode). Has anyone tried this out already?

The Answer is Yes you can.
Btw i've only had this work when the two computers were connected to the same router.
I dunno if it works over the 'net.

Inet support is unimportant to me, it's only about those 2 PC's in a Lan. Thanks for helping me out, now I know it's worth the effort :cheers:
