The easiest way is to use the Netbuie protocol for those two machines.

Right Click on My Network Places
Right Click on Local Connection
Click on INSTALL
Click on Protocol
Click on Microsoft
Choose Netbuie
Click on OK
YOu will have to do this on both machines.
After that you will want to share the folders that you want to see from each computer.
To do that..
Right Click on the folder you want to share
Click Properties
Click on Sharing
Click Share this Folder.....

Do that on all folders you want to share. Are you going to have a full time Net connection?

Put a NIC both computers, configure w/TCP.
Connect w/a cross-over cable.
You now have a network.
If you want to share an Internet connection, configure the machine w/a modem to share the connection. You might have to add the DNS setting to the second machine.

1.- Need to install nic cards and drivers into computer
2.- Buy a hub or a cross patch cable (max 100mts)
3.- Connect the computers to the hub or interconect both computers with the patch cross cable.

Hope it helps!!!
