Make a crossover cable and connect the PC and Laptop.

Crossover Cable ( *images.google.co.in/images?q=cross...&hs=JxL&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=images&ct=title )

set the ip address of the PC and Laptop as 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 (thought ips will be assigned automatically, i think it will be better to give static ip address)
To set ip address : Control Panel / Network connections . Right click on Local Area Network, Properties, General, Internet Protocol (TCP/ip)

You may do a search in this forum... i think there are lots of post about networking 2 computers.
Tip : Check if your firewalll is blocking your Game.
