Minecraft multiplayer question

Hi there.

 

I have a friend, who really likes Minecraft just got their internet disconnected (He didn't pay it on time). He asked me if he and his brother can play multiplayer by turning on LAN. I told him that it may not be possible because you don't have an internet connection. He told me, "What if we got an ethernet cable and plug it in our PCs? Is that possible?", I told him that I will do some research about it.

 

Is it possible? I have no clue since I have never tried it.

Has a Ph.D in Nothing and does not speak Chinese, Italian or French. (aber ich kann Deutsch sprechen)

both of them need to plug into a router, turn on LAN and it should work.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Should be possible. People used Hamachi before to play Minecraft multiplayer. Basically simulates a LAN environment over the internet. So it should work with actual LAN setup. 

 

EDIT:

Did a quick google search:
