I hope you have cross cable with you. All you need to do is attach the cables into both the ethernet card slots, assign then IP addresses and try to ping both from each other.

Hey.....do you Climp the both side of the wire with RJ-45 Sockets.....

Here the cable orientation

If you do all this......then you need to just assign IP Address of Both PC's Ethernet Cards Properities.....and try to ping each other....and thats all.

Or you need to say more details of your problem.
