you have two choices, provided that both your computers
have network cards installed in or else you need to get
them and install.
1. connect them directly to each other - you need to get a
cross over RJ-45 (or cat5) cable from Microcenter/Compusa.
2. connect them thru a hub - you need to have a hub and 2
regular RJ-45 cables.

Once they are connected, make sure they are on the same
workgroup.
