It's as easy as giving each firewire connection an IP address and subnet mask. Connect the firewire wire to both machines, configure Firewire connection (CompA 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0, CompB 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0), and make sure they are in the same workgroup, restart both machine. You'll be able to see each other shares.
