i was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a few pointers.  I
bought quake years ago when i was at uni, and used to play with friends
over the uni's network.  in those days the computers and modems were
too slow to have a decent game over the internet.

however i was sorting through some old computer stuff the other day and
found my old winquake disk.  i installed it (i'm running win xp) and it
worked fine.  i wanted to play over the internet with my brother, but i
have no idea how to do that.  he has the same version installed.  do i
need to run some sort of server, or can i just connect directly to him?
 I'm not really interested in playing with other people on the
internet, but if anyone could give me a few pointers as to how I might
hook up a game with my brother, I'd really appreciate it.
