you are running locally and your router gives DHCP right ? then just get a network cable for him plug him in and make sure on his end, file and printer sharing is set to on, otherwise he might not be seen on the network.

or if that's too much hassle, the simple way, get a crossover cable ,and assign your computers to static IP's.
