1)Make sure both are in the same workgroup.
2)Make sure both are in the same subnet.
3)Create an account on each one for the other computer.
4)Share at least one folder.

1)= network identification tab of system shows both being in the exact same workgroup
2)= use the same IP addressing scheme ie one on 192.168.2.1 the other 192.168.2.2
3)= in order to access anything on the other computer, you need a users account set up for the other computer
4)= If no folders are shared, you cant transfer files

Thanks,
And Is there a way to share the Internet access from one to the other?

You could try ICS on the one connectoed to the internet.

Right-click your connection to the internet-> sharing tab, enable internet connection sharing. That's if you didn't know... Here's a link to read about it.
