Its not worth setting up on a 2 client network...  you have to have a 
"login" server of sorts going during the times you want to access 
both/either computer, so that means leaving a computer on all the time 
other than the one you are about to use... better to just make the 
accounts on each machine and setup file sharing to remote connect (GO 
--> Server) or log in directly.

Do make sure that your firewall keeps the file sharing local and its 
not visible from the internet, nice backdoor for any unix hacker if 
they guess your p@$$w0rd
