    Connect the two via LAN ports. The network should be auto detected, if not create a Home Network under Network Connections.

    EDIT: Oops, I just noticed that is was Xp-Vista and not XP-XP. Sorry about that. XP-Vista does not auto detect AFAIK. Might just be me, though.

    For Vista Do this under Network and sharing centre :

    network discovery: ON
    password protected: OFF
    file sharing: ON
    public folder sharing: ON

    Make sure both Laptops have the same workgroup name

    dont you need a "crossover" cable to connect directly like that? either get a crossover cable or a cheap hub with another cable...

    Yes, you do.
    You dont need a Hub, just use an Ethernet crossover cable

    if laptops have wifi cards and drivers loaded, u can have a wireless ad-hoc connectivity between two or more, its really nice.
