I am soo mad, because i cannot find anywhere how to connect 2 computers to eachother!


This is the deal: I have a NIC on each computer (desktop, laptop) and I have a CAT5 cable... now how can I connect them to transfer data. and how can i find them to see shared documents ...

I am running on both mashines Win xp (pro)

I am tired to burn it on cds and transfer that way! I thought this was a simple task, however i am soo stuck...

( I used to have my computers attached to a lan using a dsl router, but i dont have that anylonger, neither the money to buy it!!) thanks for your help in advanced)
