wireless peer-to-peer is simplest, but you have to go buy a wireless card for both pooters.

Or, if you have 10/100 NICs in both pooters, go get a network cable SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR DIRECT CONNECTION OF TWO COMPUTERS W/O A HUB.

Once connection is made with either of these methods, then you have to set up sharing. You might also have to set up a common group name and individual computer names. Your operating system should have specific help on how to do this, but first you need the connection.

Or go buy a $20-$30 burner at Fry's and call it "done."
