If you plan on creating a computer to computer network, UTP cable is the best. Otherwhise i would recommend a router so that you may also share your internet connection.
A router is a device that acts as connection between two different networks. In this case, the cable company has one network, which includes your Internet Connection. The network is your home computer or computers. The cable router allows these two networks to connect with each other and share information.
A router is a device that connects to your modem to share your internet connection with other computers. A wireless router uses a power cord and an Ethernet cable to connect from the modem to the router without the need of a connection between the router and the computers it's sharing the Internet connection with. A USB wireless router connects to the modem using a single USB connection that serves as both the power supply and data connection.
It would depends on how one would be connecting them. The easiest, and most common way to do this would be a router. This allows all computers to share files (when configured properly) as well as the internet connection.

you will need a router if you have a modem or if your isp gives you a modem router combo and you want to share with more computers you will need a switch
ICS, Internet Connection Sharing allows more than one computer to share the same internet connection. You need two NIC's for each computer that will be sharing the connection though.
you need two phone lines to share the internet with your x box
On the psp, there's a WLAN switch on the top. You flip the switch to the right and then the wifi is turned on, on the actual psp. If you don't have a router with your computer appliances, then you're not able to access the internet with psp.
