How to connect two macs using ethernet cable

* Connect both Mac, using a standard network cable

Mac #1:
* Open up System Preferences > Network
* Choose Ethernet, and select Manually instead of Using DHCP.
* Set the IP address to 192.168.0.1, Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0

Mac #2:
* Same as above, IP address 192.168.0.2

Now you should see the other Mac in the Finder sidebar. You can use the Public folder on each Mac to share files and folders.
