Sorry about the delay, O-R-B on a local network has this built in. What you need to do is make sure each computer is running O-R-B at the same time (duh).

On the computer that is to be the host,  fastest machine recommended, go to Multiplayer, choose your profile name and logo and then hit ok or confirm (depends on your update version  of the game) from there you will see 3 options, you will say Local Area or something to that aeffect (exact wording again depends on which version) Internet (which is where you direct connect to server IP's) and Gamespy which is no longer functional. hit the Local button and make sure the adapter is set, mine likes the number 20000 but I've seen other numbers work. From there, hit create or host game, pick your map with the desired player amount as denoted by the MAX PLAYERS box in the options menu of the lobby, give your lobby a name, choose to allow teams, choose the map, etc etc, then hit create. From there you will be in the pre-game lobby. At this point, open multiplayer on the other PC and go to local, when it goes to the lobby browser, you may need to hit refresh before the lobby shows up. Once it does, click on the desired lobby, hit join, and then that computer will be in the pre-game lobby in a stand-by state where they can edit their player color, team number and race. When they hit ready their name will change from orange to green. When all players are green, the host needs to hit 'start' or 'begin' and the map will start loading. When it does, the game will lag for the first 10 seconds while it sync's with each computer, then gameplay follows as mostly normal.
