I think there is no way to do that. You CAN do it, however, with a crossover cable. It looks the same as a regular cable, but it's not. With the crossover cable, just connect the two computers and give 'em two IP's in the same network. Then enable file sharing and it should work. Sorry, I can't go into much detail because I haven't done that in a looong time, but I think that's about it. Hope it helps.

If available, Connect the PCs to a router/hub/switch and setup microsoft file sharing..

It's easy to connect 2 computers using crossover cable

Use a crossover cable to connect both computers, I assume there is Ethernet card installed on both computers. Here is the quick guide on how to do it:

After that you can share file/folder..

Have fun...
