If they are networked, just set up file sharing.

will that allow to send files and play lan games? and how do i do file sharing how do i set it up?

file sharing should work right away
just go to \\computername

I'd put both pcs in the same workgroup though --> rightclick my computer -->properties

Try playing a game. LAN should just work. I don't remember having to set anything up for LAN games.

If they are networked together, all modern games should be able to find other computers on the network. If you are on XP just run the network setup wizard. You dont need to on vista.
