Are there any guides to setting up a LAN for two machines to play Starcraft against each other (not on Battle.net)?

My Airport setup:
1 desktop plugged into it (LAN port)
1 PB with wireless Airport
Airport plugged into DSL modem

I tried and when I create a new game it doesn't appear on the other machine. Any ideas?

EDIT: forgot to add that I can mount both machines using Connect to Server and entering the IP address. Appleshare is on for both.

As long as you have a new enough version of Starcraft to use TCP/IP or UDP, you should be able to see each other's hosted games so long as you are on the same subnet (typically means you have the same IP address except the last number is different).
