The computers can be networked (e.g., a LAN) or can be linked through the Internet. PrBoom uses a server (prboom-server.exe), and the documentation lists its command line parameters (use a batch or shortcut, the parameters are similar to the standard ones but shorter, usually the dash and one character). The server is launched on one computer, and then each client connects (possibly including a client on the same computer as the server). The client user connects by typing simply this:
glboom -net [ip]
Where the IP is the IP of the server computer (can be an Internet IP, local network IP, or a local computer name). Note that only the server loads the parameters, including what wad to use. That means that each client has to have any PWADs in an equivalent directory (probably the one where the EXE is).
