doesnt matter
its a p2p connection there is no server involved here
goto the tutorial section and check out digen's guide for networking without sharing a net connection
thats the topic
search for it if u want

Ensure that workgroup is same in both the machines, otherwise even if connected, they won't appear as connected PCs.
