You would need to change the operating mode of the computer's
wireless cards from 'Infrastructure' to 'Ad Hoc.' You should then be
able to let them talk to each other.

Warning; Such a configuration will be highly insecure. A better way
to do it is over a hardwire connection. Better yet, set yourself up a
small LAN. Ethernet switches are cheap these days.

Happy netting.
