LAN games for non-gaming laptops?

My friends and I are looking for games we can play over a network.

The catch - we're using non-gaming laptops with crappy integrated graphics cards.

Any suggestions? Starcraft and Diablo 2 were the first games that came to mind, but we'll try any genre.

Thanks in advance.

    Age of Empires II

    Not a LAN game but Guild Wars runs fine on my crappy integrated graphics laptop.

    Worms 2/Armageddon

    But it probably works better with more people.

    Battle for Wesnoth runs just fine on a non-gaming system (I've run it without issue in a virtual machine), and as an added bonus it's also free. It also plays on a LAN without a lot of work.

    The Typing of the Dead. 2 players only, and it drops all the time if you're trying to go wireless, but great fun (for two people) if you can get it working.

    Quake (I, II or III). Doom (Co-op even).
