If you own a router run two cables between the computers' network ports and the ethernet sockets on the router. If not, buy a crossover version of an ethernet cable and run it between the network ports of the computers.

Go Control Panel, System and make a note of Computer Name (do this on both computers)

Turn off the firewalls on both machines while setting up. Enable file sharing on relevant folders. (See Windows Help for how).

Go to Networking Wizard and follow the steps. Then go to My Network Places and select add New Network Place. Be patient the process is a pain but works eventually.
