In general... your router will act as a DHCP server and
assing Addresses to each PC when it boots. The Addresses
will be something like 192.168.x.y where x will be the
same on all the computers in your private lan and y will
be unique.
Your NIC will most likely be assgined eth0 so you can do
/sbin/ifconfig eth0
( or just /sbin/ifconfig to see all network devices )
and you can see the IP Address that was assigned by
the DHCP server.
Once you've verified that both PCs have the correct
IP Address, you should be able to do a
ping 192.168.x.y ( the IPs assigned to each PC )
and get a ping response back and your PCs are
connected.
If you get unknown device when you do ifconfig eth0
then your NIC card was not detected by linux.
There are lots of places when things won't work out...
this should get you started.
