The BSNL provided device for broadband internet connection is a modem cum router. It is configured as a router by default. I think you need to use the router as a bridge between your two computers.

T1 and T2 are the systems here and you have the GateWay as the common point. You may have turned on the DHCP server in the router so that each session is alloted an IP. Thus using IPs are not ideal. So use 'hostnames'. To connect and login to the other system. You can use any ssh based application to login to other system and can use ftp based apps for file transfer...
