How do they connect to the internet. do you use a router, wireless router, or connect one computer @ a time.
Hold the windows Icon key and hit pause break. Make the workgroup name the same on both computers. By defauld the should be a shared folder for each computer and you can pull info from one computer to the one you are sitting @ but not push info onto the other without first unchecking the read only attribute the shared folder on that computer.

The easiest way is with to connect the two PC's NIC to NIC with a crossover cable. This will also be the fastest way of connecting them (ie: bandwidth).

as CurtR did say that is the best way to connect the two pcs if and only if there are not connected to the net.
