Is there a way to play Call of Duty: Black Ops on LAN without an internet connection?

Is there any way i can play black ops (PC) on LAN with my friend without Internet Connection.

EDIT: Even if solution requires Internet, solution must not connect to black ops servers. I just wanted to play with my friend using hamachi or any other mean

To authenticate the user account, each user has to have an internet connection. Then setup a dedicated LAN server on the net and connect to this by using the in-game console (look it up on the net on how to enable the console):

/connect <ip>:<port>

you can fetch your local-ip of the server PC by looking it up via command line

c:\ipconfig

it could be something like 192.168.0.3, depending on your router settings. Then just type

/connect 192.168.0.3 (if standard port, you may omit it).

Treyarch has said on their Twitter (@pcdev) that the PC version requires all LAN players to have an active Internet connection.
