This will just work on most Macintoshes without any special configurations. You might need to turn off wireless, since the two machines will see each other over both wireless and direct cable. I believe that some OS versions will prefer the wireless to the wired even though that is not sensible in my opinion.
Also, if both your machines are Apple airDrop cabable then AirDrop provides a direct connection rather then going over the router.
