It's doable. How much detail do you need?? How many PC's total? Are you going to use a router or a hub? Are you planning on splitting some sort of internet access? Is either/both going to be accessable via the interent? (In which case, do you have a firewall installed?) For just networking two PC's, you will need a network card installed in each machine and a network (Cat5) cable connecting them. For just a local network, you want to set their IP addresses to 192.168.0.xxx. (Make sure they are different.) And assign both to the same domain. (Whatever you want to name it.) Let me know, I can talk you through it. It's fairly easy with WinXP involved.
