I suppose that depends what you mean by the internet ?. http, email or tcp/ip networking in general.

Are we at all allowed to use any kind of networking ?. If so we could use windows shares or ftp, this ofcourse requires that one of the machines runs a shared drive or an ftp server.

If we're not allowed to use any kind of net working you could, burn it on a cd, or use a file splitting tool and put it on standard 1.44 floppies.

You can create a windows share by right-clicking on a folder and selecting "Sharing", and click 'new share' to setup a new shared folder. You may need to enable filesharing in your network properties page. You can then access the shared folder from another computer by going to 'My network places'->'Computers near me'.
The alternative is to setup a ftp server, on one machine and then connecting to that with a ftp client from the other PC.
You can get both Server and client here
