I need to transfer files from one computer to another
using a crossover cable.

What do I need to program in both computers for them to
see each other?

You need to check that the IP addresses on the card in each computer is configured to not recieve IP addresses automatically (not a rule but i do not APIPA can handle this correctly
Then give them IP addresses such that they will be on the same subnet (just to be sure
Ensure NetBT (NetBios over TCP/IP) is installed on each card's protocol stac
Join each computer to a workgroup with the same name (I wouldn't use the default "Worgroup" name
Reboot each computer and create your shares and you should be all righ
This is assuming you had a means of testing the cable beforehand to avoid any surprises.
