1. Check tht the light blinks means the connection is active n ur nic(network interface card) are configured both on the pc and the lapie.

2. next sharing just wont let u share a particular drive or a folder for tht follow this:

in ur pc go to control panel--->select Network and Internet Connections---> Select Network Connections ----> Now here you will be able to see the default LAN connection or the company's name whose lan card is in tht right click on tht n select properties...... a dialog box opens in tht in the General Tab find a check box named Internet Protocol just select it dont ncehck the checkbox now just beneath it on righthand side there is a button named Properties....click on it another dialog box opens now....

3. Here select the radio button named Use the Following IP address:

enter the following as shown:

IP Address:  192.168.1.1

subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 129.168.1.1

Try a straight network cable...

Well firstly you need to run a network cable between the two of them, if it's a direct connection between the two only and doesn't go through a switch or router you will most likely need a patch cable (Wires are slightly different layout over normal).  Then you need to make sure that both belong to the same workgroup.  This can be done by right clicking my computer, going to properties, then the Computer Name tab.  Click change and make sure the PC names are different but the workgroup name is the same.  Final step is to share a folder or something between them.  Choose a folder, right click it and go to properties, then go to the sharing tab and tick the "Share folder on the network" box, give the folder a name and thats it.  Now on the second PC type in the address bar \\yourpcnamehere and press enter, it should list the folder that you just shared, now all you do is stick the files you want to share, into the folder you just setup and it should be accessable on both PCs :)
