I know you said you don't want to buy a router, but that is by far your easiest option.
Your other option is to link the two computers with a crossover cable (would require buying a second Ethernet PCI card for the main PC) and using the main PC as a gateway.

Well, I assume you only have 1 internet line? So you want to split that between 2 PCs?
To do it without a router you would need to purchase an additional Ethernet card for your Desktop PC, and fit it. Then you would also need to purchase a crossover cable (looks like an Ethernet cable), this will be used to link the PC to the laptop. You would plug the Internet into the Desktop PC, then connect them as specified above.
again, I will repeat that the router is by far the easiest option here, and they aren't that expensive these days.
