Darkveld

Eh, i have played a couple times before and i got barely a hang on some of the basics of the game, but might as well call it the first time ive played with all i know. and yeah i have the freeware version. so there is no way to play on lan with 2 machines at all? we both really want to play, but we can't afford 2 copies of the game.

What version do i buy if i get this game from Direct2Drive? and if i want to play with a friend on lan, is it possible to just install the game on the 2 computers and it will work just fine? because i can't afford to get 2 copies of the game just to play with someone every long once in a while.
