Someone on the net was successful in playing network playable games like 
Doom2, C&C, Warcraft 2, etc. with just network cards and cable without 
having to buy network software (Novell, LANtastic, etc.)

If anyone out there knows how this is possible, I would greatly 
appreciate it if they could tell me how this is done.

I'm running windows 95, by the way, and there are built-in network 
adapter drivers that can be configured.
