Make sure your network cable is a crossover cable and network them as you normally would using a hub i.e. they must have at least one protocol in common. Have the names of both PCs unique and you can add the workstation to the server domain using server manager or from the properties of network neighborhood on the workstation. Create an account in user manager for domains to log onto the server from the workstation. This method gives you a client/server network.

first make sure hat your cable is a crossover cable and not a strait through, if its not a crossover cable you will need a hub,then install your network cards and configure your protocol, the easiest protocol to use is netbuei as long as your not trying to connect to the internet this should work just fine, if you need internet use the TCP/IP protocol.
