Question Help networking 2 pc's

Hello
I simply need to set up two pc's, using Windows 2000 Pro, to be able to use a network version of Quickbooks. I have a router with DSL service to it, hooked up to the two computers via wired 10/100 ethernet. I am assuming that this is all the connections I need between the 2 computers and that i just need to set up the computers internally to see each other. I need step by step instructions about how to name the computers, protocols, whether to designate one as the server, etc. Is someone willing to help? My email is gebennett@comcast.net if someone wants to use that instead of going through this service. Thank You.

Use TCP/IP

Put both computers in the same workgroup.

Add a common user account in both computers (makes it easier)

Add file & printer sharing in your network setups.

Share the common QB folder over the network

Install qb on both computers following the network installation instructions.
