Default Win 98 and Win 2000

I have the above 2 computers. Only the Win 98 has internet access that I use
to get my email.
I would like to be able to transfer files from the 98 to the 2000 and use
the printer connected to the 2000 computer.
I have network cards in each computer.
Is there a way I can do a peer to peer without router and only connecting a
cable from one to the other?
I have little knowledge if any of hardware / networking. I do know how to
use the control panel. I know that both machines Client for Microsoft and
TCP/IP in the network properties.
I would appreciate any help .... Thanks you.
