Hi,
You can use a cable, but if you have home router/hub it makes it easier.
If you just use a cable you need a crossover cable.
1. Having them set to Auto Address only works if you connect to a Router,
the addresses are given out by the routers DHCP Server.
2. If you have them connected directly, You need to set the addresses manually
Open a terminal (ctrl alt t)
You should see something like em1 or eth0 with a line like:
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
The last 3 digits in Red Addressees need to be different on both PC like one is .100 and the other say .101
The Gateway field is normally the address of your Home Router/Hub something like 192.168.1.1
Given you have just 2 PC's are already connected to a hub/router the easiest way to transfer files is to set-up a share on each PC.
Then you can copy files from 1 PC to the other via their shares.
For setting up a share on the LL PC go to Menu > Help Manual and Look in Network Section "Network Shares"
On Windows 8 I believe you can just right click on a folder and Select Share Options.
