Just plug both into the router using the network cables. If you've got the sharing set up, the router will handle ''routing'' the traffic between the two machines for you.

You should make sure both computers are in the same workgroup. By default, when you setup the os with network, you would be in the 'workgroup' workgroup. To enable file sharing, right click on the folders to be shared and select 'sharing'.
