It all depends on a number of things. The first part is, do you want the computer to be on the same network (connecting to the internet)? If so, plug it into the router/switch/hub with an RJ-45 (most people just call it an Ethernet cable). But if you want two computers to be able to share files (connect to each other) on a "simple network" then it might depend on what kind of hardware you have. If you have a parallel slot, use that if you just have two computers. If you don't have a parallel slot then you should hopefully have some sort of Network Interface Card (NIC) and there will be an RJ-45 slot. If you have Windows, you'll have to do a setup with the local network wizard (or something like that). With Linux or Mac, use Samba. Hope this helps, and hope I didn't mess something up. -Zofc
