setting up a home lan

[Shao Zhang]

Hi,     
        Can anyone tell me what are the procedures to set up two computers
        to talk to each other via ethernet.

        In particular, what kind of ip I can choose. Is there a HOWTO on this??

        Also, is there any tools like fsck in linux which can repair the fat 
file
        system??

        Thanks.

Shao.
