You need a hub (or switch) if there isn't one built into the modem/router
you're using and two straight-through cables.
 
Yes, that's a decent hub, but actually, upon re-reading your post, I didn't
give you the best answer - if you want both computers to also connect to the
Internet, you'll need a little broadband router - and I'd get one with a
decent built-in firewall. Check out the NetGear FVS318 - they go for about
$120US and have a built-in 8-port Ethernet switch to boot.
 
No prob - see my reply to your previous post...I re-phrased in the interests
of accuracy!
