Keyword: CROSSOVER CABLE, an ethernet (CAT-5) cable that's wired  opposite at each 
end.  

Connect the two computers using this cable.  If the internet connection is ethernet 
(not phone or USB) you'll need to buy an extra network card ($15) for the connection 
to the second computer.

Then run the Network Setup Wizard.
