You could try this;
PC 1 has a ethernet card with a static address of 10.1.1.1; subnet mask 255.0.0.0 and PC 2 has address 10.1.1.2; subnet mask 255.0.0.0. Make sure that the default gateway is blank on the IP settings on the network cards on both machines.Then on PC 1, open a DOS command window and enterROUTE ADD 10.1.1.2 MASK 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.1 METRIC 1and on PC 2 enterROUTE ADD 10.1.1.1 MASK 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.2 METRIC 1You can do a google search for the ROUTE commands in DOS to see what they do.Give it a go and see if it works ok.These commands are not persistant so if something goes horribly wrong then a reboot of both machines will fix it. If it appears to be working OK then reenter the commands but include the -P switch (P for persistant)i.e. ROUTE -P ADD 10.1.1.1 etc.BTW the commands are not case sensitive, I've only written them in capitals for clarity
What the heck has happened to the formatting on this post? I hope you can read it ok!

Haha @ formatting
Thanks for the commands. Will re-read through that again and give it a go
</p>
EDIT: Is the subnet mask supposed to be 255.255.255.0 in the first sentence? or is it the 255.0.0.0 as you posted?.
Did some googling on the route command but still unclear as the purpose of the the metric parameter.
