Hi
If you have A Cable/DSL Router and the two computers are plugged in to it
you already have a network and it is a matter of configuring File Sharing on
each computer.
Maybe this can Help,
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.

If security isn't an issue, turn off Password Proteted Sharing in Network
and Sharing Center. OR - create a matching user account (name and password)
on each machine.
