So what have you tried so far?

1, Go to one computer click on VIEW WIRELESS NETWORKS
2, Click CHANGE ADVANCED SETTINGS
3, Click on the WIRLESS NETWORKS tab
4, Click the ADD button
5, Type a network name like DELL OPTIPLEX or something like that
6, Have network authentication OPEN
7, Have data encryption DISABLED
8, Put a check mark in the THIS IS A COMPUTER-TO-COMPUTER (AD HOC)
NETWORK; WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS ARE NOT USED
9, Click okay
10, The computer should start acquiring a network address, if not open view
wireless networks and click refresh it will show the network that you made.
Now click connect(connect button is located at the lower right side of the
window).
11. Once the computer is done acquiring the network address and is
connected, go to the second computer
and open VIEW AVAILABLE WIRELESS
NETOWORKS on the list of wireless networks click refresh and it should bring
up the wireless network that you created, click connect.
12, Once both computers are connected try to ping each other.

You can just set up ad-hoc wireless network between both computers, and play the game you like or share files.
