You /could/ use the Net, but that is pointless.
Setup a LAN between your two machines. This is probably a good idea
anyway, so that you can share printers and storage. Ensure that you
setup TCP/IP on each machine, for your private network. Since it is very
small static ip numbers are ok, they start at 192.168.x.x.
BTW What a lot of home users do, is to have one box acting as the
internet firewall & router (so just one modem (POTS,ADSL,cable etc)).
Then you can have as many computers as you like on your private network.
You might need a tame techie to get this setup, but it works really
well. One source of firewall/routers is to use a laptop with a knackered
screen. They are cheap and run silently in your understairs cupboard.
Since it is running GM free software, it doesn't crash and can be
administered remotely.
