Remote Desktop is built into Windows, or VNC will work as well.
If you dont even have them physically linked up yet, then you'll need to configure your network first before worrying about remote desktops.
If you are only connecting two systems, you may require the cable to be configured as a crossover, but that is rare these days. Another option would be to buy a small router/switch with wireless - this will give you more flexibility.
Worry about getting both computers to have a "Link Up" first - in Windows, this will show as "Media State: Enabled" under your local area connection status. This will depend on your cable being good, and not much else.
One thats done, you can set up your IP addresses, and start setting up network services between them
