Set up TFTPd32 as a DHCP server. Download it, and run the executable.
Settings: uncheck all other services except DHCP, then goto the DHCP tab and enter these settings:
IP Pool Start address: 192.168.1.100
Size of pool (use something small): 20
Def router 192.168.0.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS Servers: 192.168.0.0
WINS Server: 192.168.0.0
Save it and restart TFTPd32. Connect you Pi up and it will be assigned an IP address, then just use something like PuTTY to connect to the IP address it is assigned which will show in TFTPd32.
If it doesn't work the first time, make sure the server interfaces drop down is set to your ethernet card, or a software loopback.
