i have large video files on my laptop that i would like to send to my older computer because my computer has a dvd burner so i can either burn these video's or keep them on there and watch them through my tv/monitor. i can't hook up my laptop to tv/monitor because it only has vga and my monitor is dvi

I use wireless internet from my aunt since i live in a guest house in the back so i don't have a direct internet connection from there to here. I do however have a linksys wireless g router that i connected my computer too and would like to either connect to it wirelessly or through an ethernet cord (wireless is preferable but either way works)

i got this router from my cousin so i don't have the software.

My question is: how do i set up a lan so i can share files between the two. my laptop runs vista and computer runs xp. will internet be necessary? I cannot hook the router up to it. if there's file's/software i need to install on my computer i can put it on my usb drive
