You can buy a special USB cable to do that, but it's better if you get a router and hook both to that.

If you have them both connected to a router, and they can both hit the Internet, they should be able to communicate with each other. Make sure both are setup for the same workgroup. Add a user account on both with the same user id and password. Finally share a folder on one or the other to share your data. The other can access the files by browing the Network Neighborhood in Windows Explorer.
