Not quite sure what you're asking here. Are you talking about just connecting the two PCs directly with each other or over the internet?

If you want to connect two computers together without a router, you can get a cross-over cable and connect the computers together via the NICs (ethernet ports). But I've never done this before and don't what you need to do on the OS side.

You're not talking about Remote Control are you? Where you can remotely control another computer over the internet.
