Get a USB Direct Connect Cable, it is a USB cable that has a special crossover and more to it. This makes the USB cable act like an old NULL Modem cable from the early days. You then plug it into the USB ports on each computer install the software drivers and then set up file sharing and whatever else it has you do to make it network and your good to go.

Do Not use a regular USB cable, you will fry things...
