Was thinking about Brink LAN earlier on, and was a little dismayed at how LAN has been an excluded feature on PC's over the past year, then it clicked in my head.
Steamworks.
Steam works fully supports LAN and Offline play. As BRINK is using the steamworks server browser which has a LOCAL tab, BRINK, like TF2 and CSS and all other Steamworks games should be good to go
I hope this is the case anyway as a friend of mine is coming to spend the brink release weekend at my new house, and my internet isn't activated until Tuesday 17th
