And in all honesty, unless you're setting up a home network, trying to get the computers to recognize each other through a router is far more trouble than it's worth. Seriously, go buy the crossover cable. It's not expensive, and it's very useful to have around.
Once you have the computers connected, all you do is share the folder you want on one machine, then map a network drive to that folder on the other machine. (If you don't know what this means, feel free to ask)
