The easiest way is if they both have network cards, then you just need to buy a crossover cable if you don't already have one, they should be cheap enough anywhere that sells pc stuff, just make sure it's a crossover cable not a normal ethernet cable. You can just connect the laptop and desktop with that between the network cards.

Or if you have a serial-to-serial cable you could use Direct Cable Connection. Slower but if they don't have network cards its an alternative to buying some..
