Preferably in the 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x range. 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 should work fine. * Set the IP subnet mask on both computers. 255.255.255.0 will work OK, and give you an entire Class C subnet range in the event you ever get a hub/switch and need more addresses. * You only need to use a gateway address if one of the computers is being used to the Internet via a modem and want to share the connection. In this case set the gateway address on the computer without the modem to the address of the computer with the modem. (There is more to sharing an internet connection than this, but it is beyond the scope of this email message.)
