http://search.microsoft.com/us/SearchMS.asp?so=RECCNT&qu=direct+cable+connection&boolean=BOOLEAN&intCat=7&p=1&nq=NEW&LOC= With Direct Cable Connection, you can gain access to shared folders on another computer, even when your computer is not on a network. If the other computer is connected to a network, you can also gain access to that network.

For example, if you have a portable computer, you can use a cable to connect it to your work computer and network.

you cannot do it with a modem. good news though, all you need is a connection through your parallel port(easiest way unless youwant to set up a net work). Then use direct cable connection, and you will be cruisin.
