You can do it with a wireless router, then an adapter for the other computer
assuming it does not have it built in. Another way is to buy a router and
run cable from it to both. Wireless is the easy way to go. A good router is
only about $50.00 give or take. Look at some place like Office Depot or
Amazon.com. If I can do it anyone can. <G>. After I got cable about a year
ago and added a wireless router I wondered why I had not done it years
before.
