It used to work for some applications.
Back in the day, one could connect a bog-standard FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable betwixt a pair of Windows boxes, and it would create a (quite fast for the time) network for them to talk on.
Addressing was automatic with RFC 3927, and names just worked too.
After that, any appropriately-shared things on one machine would be accessible on the other.
