Ethernet or Firewire cable will set up a network between the two.

A plain ethernet cable will work if they are both(maybe just 1 ?) recent enough to support it, otherwise a cross-over cable, or 2 cables and a router. Share a folder on one, map network drive on the other. You'll prob need to set static IP addresses on both if you don't use the router option. Cables are faster than wifi.

If you can get your hands on an ethernet X over cable connect the PC's.

Then use Microsoft Network Setup Wizard to configure the connection.
