On your old PC,
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
should be sufficient to configure its Network -- afterwards, the
communication with the laptops should work (This command is not
preserved during system restarts -- after each restart, you have to set
again the IP adress & netmask).
