My nephew and I use a direct connection with a parallel cable, when he brings his computer over. There are better ways but right now that is the only method we have.
If you go with a parallel cable, it's cheap, but the computers will need to be in the same room.
I can help walk you through this method if you want.

I would network them through a LAN connection. Used to have that set up when I had 2 computers and worked like a charm. I think it is possible to hook them up through a phone line, but the pings would suck. Through a LAN there is almost no lag and the fragging is wonderful
Yeah, what Solo said

Well they wouldn't have to be in the same room if you got a long enough parallel cable, or some kind of lengthener for it or something. Just a thought

Alright I'll start working on the walkthrough.
Are both computers running WinXP?
Sometimes it can be a pain to get this to work, so maybe my walk through will help.

Ok, I threw this together:
http://www.geocities.com/solo_senshi/parallel.html
I'm assuming both computers are running WinXP.
I hope it helps, any questions please ask.
For setting up the server I use Frag and Flag:
http://www.pharfruminsain.com/quake/q2-faf.asp
It's a simple little program to use, just set server to listen instead of dedicated.
My nephew just got dail-up at his house, so I also use this to set us up a server when he's not here.
