simple
both comp. must have lan card with settings
then connect them point to point cross cable method(cable type: cat 5e connector: rj-45)
if you share internet connection then you have two lan card with settings one of two computer.(one lan for internet & one lan for 2nd computer lan connection)

Best way is to use a router! You can use a cat5 crossover cable but its the funky way to go. Either way, you will need network cards on both pcs if they arent network ready.

with a LAN cable just make sure your computers have network cables in hope you get it sorted out.
