    You'll just need a crossover cable (e.g. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...5887&doy=9m11D). You won't need any extra software. Windows should be able to deal with that.

    As for sharing hard drives etc. that's also very easy. This should get you started: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...ilesharing.htm
