I realise the best and fastest way to connect two computers directly is using ethernet or a special USB cable or whatever, but I don't have any of that to hand right now and I need to do this now.
I have a regular phone cable, can't I just plug this cable into each of the dial-up modem ports on each computer and share files, etc between the two computers this way?

no. If you joined two actual telephones together with a bit of phone wire you couldn't phone yourself up with it. Computers use phone wires to make actual phone calls to each other. That's actual, normal, audible voice calls. It's just that their conversation consists of meeeep SCREEEEEEE and so on.
If they both have ethernet ports (RJ45 ports, network ports, whatever) you can join them with a crossover cable. That is NOT the same as a normal network cable. It will be labled "crossover" or it isn't one. That's the easy way to do it. Or USB or other serial cable type stuff.

Wireless router is best plan but make sure you get a really butch one! Range is always a problem. Report It
Answer could not be more wrong.
