You have to have a specific type of cable, called a crossover ethernet cable.
Regular cable won't do it, you'd have to have a switch in between to control traffic.
You can also get a dock that allows you to essentially turn your old HDD into an external. You can then hook it up via USB and move the files that way.
Few more details -
Are you just trying to connect 2 machines together? If so, you need a crossover ethernet cable.
Are you trying to add a 2nd computer to the same network that your primary machine is on? If so, you need a switch & a couple more cables.
This is a good idea. Even if they don't support it you can always go out and buy a cheap crossover cable
Crossover cable isnt that hard to find if you cant make it, I'm sure a local place would have it as well.

I have no experience with adhoc wifi connection for gaming, but it could work.
