to find other computers, uhm, it should work great if you had konqueror or similar.
to manually config IP, do

Code:

sudo ifconfig eth0  you:r:IP:address

your network card is possibly called something else, look it up with

Code:

sudo lspci|grep net

.
example

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.99

on one computer and

sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.97

on the other.
the above done, do

Code:

 sudo passwd knoppix

to give knopix a password on both computers.
now to the file sharing, that can be done via scp, sftp, NFS, FTP or samba and severasl othwer ways. that last is not very good, NFS needs some setting up so I usually go with ftp or scp.
let us use sftp, which is part of SSHD on your knoppix disk.
check what the computers ip is (the computer you are not sitting at) and run a ftp program, say gftp, then use ssh2 protocol to that ip using knoppix as user name.

or do sftp in a console.
sftp [email protected]

then use

get /home/knoppix/filename

or

put /home/knoppix/filename
