Directly, so I'm assuming you don't want to use a router/switch/hub.

Two ways:

1. You can buy cross-over network cable. Will cost you about 5 bucks for 12 feet or so. Connect your two computer together using your cross-over cable connected to the Ethernet ports of each of your computers.

2. A friend of mine once used a USB connection device of somkind that allowed him to transfer data between my labtop and his desktop that had a non-working Ethernet port. Sorry I can't provide the link to the USB item, but you are much better off with the cross-over cables.

In the long run you will probably want a Router so both of your computers can connect to the Internet at the same time using your DSL or Cable Internet connection.

good luck.

Use Cross Over Cable. Or use the null modem cable.
Easiest, cheapest way to do it, is just to buy a cross-over cable, assuming both PCs have a network card in them. This way you won't need any additional hardware (switch or hub). Crossover cable from the local PC store should be less than $10, they are $2-3 locally for me.
Look in your computer help files, or read your manual about connecting two computers by cable.
