I would like to ask for a basic instructions how to configure Lan between two Linux Lite machines (latest LL 3 on an old machine and LL 2. on relatively new machine). I simply pluged in network cable, indicators are showing that machines are trying to connect, but they don't connect after a while, ethernet network. Previously, a few months ago, I was reading instructions for setting network share, and I was trying to set a share between Windows and Linux, but this is probably next phase, does this influence on connection maybe?

Well there's actually a section on creating network shares in the Help Manual (Menu > Favorites > Help Manual). If you haven't referenced that already, click on the section called Network and then the subsection called Network Shares.
Want to thank me? Click my [Thank] link.

Also if you are trying to connect PC directly to PC, and
NOT via a router, then you will need to use a cable like this "
Network Crossover Cable"

One of the computers is very old, desktop pc. When cable is pluged into old destop pc, regular light can be seen around the area as it should be:). Other pc is notebook relatively new, when cable is pluged in, no light can be seen on this
new pc, but maybe this is regular with new machines, I didn't try earlier to connect cable internet on new pc, I was using only wireless, so I don't know its regular behaviour.

Yes, all cables are standard, BUT for PC <<-- >> PC you need a
crossover type cable.
There is some info in this thread that may help.
Again it mentions crossover cable with old PC's

I tried a diff.cable which is I believe for Pc, but it didn't work. I'll get a new cable.
