Your wisest solution would be to get a little 4-port switch. This has four or
five RJ45 connectors on it, you just plug anything you want to be on your
network into a hole and they can talk automagically.
With such a switch, you use normal CAT5 / RJ45 cabling. To hook two - and you
can only directly do two this way - network cards directly you use a
Crossover cable.
