TF2 at LAN

[Vidda]

I am going to hsot a small LAn for some friends soon (15-20 people), and am interested in getting them to try TF2. I have two problems though:
a) How do I do this with Steam's log-in feature (won't have internet)?
b) Is it possible to do this w/ 1 cd-key?

we played Quake, and then in HS C++ we played Q2...
Every now and then one person would stand up and yell "WHO IS <Q2 NAME>, I'LL KILL YOU"

The teacher would be sitting there perplexed.

It is possible to do TF2 on a LAN, a google search came up with links from many gaming forums saying how.
Everyone will need their own copy of the game however. Even a local server not connected to the internet will not allow the same steamID on multiple times.

i'm not fully sure if it'd work but couldnt he do it using the offline option? not sure if it still checks accounts though?
