on computer 1, at th command prompt type:
ROUTE ADD (ip of computer 2) MASK 255.255.255.255 (ip of computer 1) METRIC 1
on computer 2, on the command prompt type:
ROUTE ADD (ip of computer 1) MASK 255.255.255.255 (ip of computer 2) METRIC 1
For example, let's say computer 1's IP is 192.168.0.100 and computer 2's IP is 192.16.0.200
on computer 1, on the command prompt type
ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.200 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.100 METRIC 1
on computer 2, on the command prompt type
ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.100 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.200 METRIC 1
What we're doing here is telling both computers to NOT go out the router to talk to each other, rather, attempt to communicate directly using their own network cards as the gateway.
It certainly won't hurt anything, give it a try.

Something tells me that juicy wants to get to the Internet too :-).
So his PCs must be on the same subnet as the router. 192.168.0.1 is typical, but so are others.
If he sets static IPs as you suggest, he'll have to know the exact IP of the router and enter it as the gateway.
Best done through the control panel rather than command lines for an end user.

Juciy prolly has questions like:
How do I get to a command prompt? Start -> Run and type "cmd" then hit enter.
If I made the attempt to answer all the question he might have, this would be a long thread
There are plenty of folks around that could walk ya thorugh this on the phone maybe. That would be the best way unless you can get a geek to come over.
