that is possible but you need a different kind of network cable for that. which looks exactly the same as usual network cable but has little difference in the way the wires are connected.

You need to have a lan card installed on each computer and the computers linked toghether with a cross-over cable. Read more here: http://www.defcon1.org/html/Networking_Articles/Cat-5/Cross-Over/cross-over.html

It's pretty simple actually. You'll need some network cables (UTP Cables) with RJ45s on either end sutup as cross-over cables. Plug each end to each PC's LAN card. If you are using WinXP, the system will cnfigure itself. =)
