Best Answer

If you just have 2 computers and neither one is wireless then you can just buy an Ethernet switch and connect to it and then turn file sharing on and your done.

If one (or both) is wireless and one is not you can buy a wireless Router with a 4 port Ethernet port on it and then you can connect the wireless one via wireless and the non-wireless one to the Ethernet port and then they can connect to each other. The Router will also give you the benefit of having a "Hardware" firewall to protect you from the internet, neighbors, etc.

If you have a DSL/Cable modem then it would be similar to this:

DSL/Cable modem-----Router (wireless(?))----computers, HDTV, BlueRay player, etc.
