Uhm... not sure why you'd need to add services or why you'd need to go into msconfig to do it. The most you should have to do is open the ports that the specific game used unless I'm missing your question here... :?

You should enable the LAN-party Service in msconfig, doh.

More seriously though, since it's a 2 player LAN then you can also consider turning off the firewall for the duration of the part. That of course, if you trust your friends computer...
