Some requirements:
1. Both computers need to have Client for Microsoft networks installed
2. Both Computers need to be on the same network - IP addresses on same
network. (example: 192.169.0.1 and the other 192.168.0.2 both with netmask
255.255.255.0)
3. Both Computers need File and printer sharing installed and enabled
(TCP/IP for the NIC need to be bound to file and printer sharing).
4. Both Computers need to be in the same workgroup (The workgroup name need
to be the same).
5. Both Computers need some shared resources.
