In Network Preferences there's a panel in the GUI to create a computer-to-computer network. This works fine. The only problem is that upon reboot, the network gets 'uncreated' and has to be recreated manually again each time…

I think this means I need to write a program or a script that gets run when the system boots to create such a network, but I don't know what commands the GUI executes behind the scenes to do this. How can I accomplish this?

If you're one of the rare persons not being connected to another network (the Internet), you can configure your ethernet adapters manually. Just two IP addresses distinct in the last of the four numbers, no router, no DHCP, no DNS. This should survive reboots and enable you to connect from one machine to the server of the other. Works on about all OSs, not only on Mac OS X.

BTW., there's usually no need to reboot a computer but for some system updates. Put it in sleep mode while not using it. Much more comfortable.
