You can go through an ethernet cable connected directly to both of them, or thru a modem. I dont know about wireless connecting but I dont think it should be a problem if you are on the same network.
 
For the computers to see each other, often firewall settings have to be changed. You're talking about a direct cable connection, the Home Networking Wizard should be able to take you through most of it.

For games themselves, usually if one person sets up a server, it is visible to the other computers on the network for them to join.
