Dude, get a router. Linksys WRT54G's are like $40 when on sale at a local retailer. Check Office Max. Do it right, so you don't have to keep doing this repeatedly everytime you want to play. The router will let you share your broadband connection if you have one, as well as take care all of the IP addressing stuff you'd have to figure out and set manually.

Try this.....
Stick the cable into both pc's,enable file sharing,make sure both firewalls allow this and off ya go.
The firewalls may shout at ya for allowance of game,just say yes.
