There are several ways: 1. Use a Parallel Laplink Cable. One computer will be the Master and the other will be the slave. 2. Use a Null Modem Cable. Ditto
3. Use a Crossover USB cable
Any of these will work and allow you to transfer files from one computer to another. Note that you should only transfer files / folders.
There's plenty of information on how to interconnect computers together to do this available here and elsewhere. I wouldn't deprive you of the pleasure of finding this information for yourself. You'll be a much more knowledgeable person when you're done.

I suggest purchasing a USB connection cable. They come with the software you need and are not very expensive (about $30 US).
