All you need is a crossover cable to connect the two PC's and then run the network setup wizard in My Networks Places. Then reboot.

No. Use straighthrough CAT5 in lieu of crossover. You will also need a hub to connect the two pcs to the modem.

You can do it without a hub or a modem with a crossover cable. If you want to spend the extra money or you have a high speed connection get a cat5 and a router, otherwise just get a crossover.
