How to set up a network between two computers

2. Go to Control Panel and open the Network Set-Up Wizard
3. In the "Welcome to Network Set-up Wizard" click "Next>"
4. Click next again (it is nice to have one computer connected to the internet, but you don’t have to)
5. Put a check in the box that says "ignore disconnected hardware"

6. Click “Next>” and click the radio button for "Other" as in the screen shot below:

7. Click "Next>" and click on "This computer belongs to a network that does not have an internet connection," as shown in the box below:
