Starcraft multiplayer

I have a 2 computer network at home and me and my roommate like to play multiplayer Starcraft together but I cant seem to make so we can be allies and play against the computer. Is that possible? We want a real challenge against the both of us, any ideas?(besides battle.net)

I belive, on a LAN you can just select a computer player from the drop down list.... Make sure your on a map that supports more than 2 though.... I could be wrong, I haven't LANed SC in a while. Just double check everything though, because I think it's possible.

I think I can help, used to do it all the time. Host a 4 player game. Leave one player open for your buddy and select computer for the other 2 players. Then once the game starts, you have to select the handshake icon in the lower left corner. Check allies, allied victory and shared vision. His base will appear on your mini map. When both computer players are gone, you can quit, or turn on each other. Enjoy. Paul
