twisted Pair

I want to connect two computers together (one a newer windows machine
and one a somewhat new machine with Ubunutu).
 
I have a twisted pair connector made for me a long time ago and both
machines have ethernet cards. 
 
Is there any info on what I have to do next to connect the two (after
plugging in the cables and turning the machines on :-)
 
I'm guessing on the windows machine I'd got to network neighbor hood or
something, 
 
Also net working on the ubuntu machine, but I am assuming I would not
need samba would I?
 
 
I did google search first but found mostly info on how to build the
twisted pair.
 
(example: http://www.mreriksson.net/miscdocs/tpcable/)
 
I'd have to set some sort of IP address?
 
Pat.
