David,
You do not need any expensive hardware to setup these two machines.
Just goto 'Control Panel' -> 'Network' and make sure that the following are
installed in the 'Configuration' settings:
Client for Microsoft Networks
NE2000 compatible ( or whatever his ethernet card is )
NetBeui -> NE2000 compatible ( or whatever his ethernet card is )
You may also have:
Dialup Adapter
TCP/IP -> Dialup Adapter
Also make sure the Workgroups are the same on both machines in the
'Identity' tab.
Then you have to map your network drives, or 'share' the different
files/folders on the systems.
Once you do that, reboot both machines and they should 'see' each other.
This is just a general overview of what you need to do.
Good luck,
Robert
