its very simple , just plug the cross-over cable in both PC's (in case of two pcs)

and then right click on the Network icon near CLOCK in taskbar and click on the last option of opening the networking control panel or (something like that)

then click on new netwrok.. and enable network discovery... do it in both PC's and then click on connect to ... and you are done... *vista self_configures all the things...
