A network cable between the onboard ethernet ports on your two computers, then set up a little peer-to-peer LAN. That should do the trick.

Make sure its a crossover network cable!

Yep, make sure it's a crossover cable you've got (double check that the ends are crossed over when you hold them together)..

Set static ip's up on the same subnet, e.g '10.0.0.1 - 2' respectively... 255.0.0.0, and just choose one as the default gateway... hey presto your networked.
