Depends on what kind of connection you're talking about. If you just want to share data between two computers in general, then there is so much software for so many different unique purposes that it's frightening. Your web browser is the most prominent example though: The browser uses the internet, which is just a gigantic super network, to connect your computer to another computer (the web server) somewhere else in the world and ask for information (the web page).

If you want to connect computers in a way that allows you to share their resources and treat them as one larger, faster computer (basically how supercomputers like those that NASA uses for launch simulations are built), then you want to look into cluster software.

What is used to link 2 or more computers together?

You can use many types of cables, but the most common are USB or LAN, found in almost every computer. Simply locate a cord of one of these sorts and connect it to both computers. They should now be connected. Also, some laptops have software pre-installed that let you connect to another with the same software, allowing you to lose the cords and communicate with another computer remotely. -paxromana, Feb. 2 2011

Do emulators not let computers work like regular computers or are they just another piece of software?

Emulators are a software emulating another computer. For example, an NES emulator is a software that is ran on a desktop PC to look like the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), whereas you can play NES titles (Cartridges emulated as ROMs) using your keyboard or a controller for the NES controller. However, emulators are not just for other computers. Technically, an emulator is a piece of software that allows foreign (different language or setup) hardware or software to interact with the current system. The NES example is a good one. An example with software is like installing windows software on linux. It cannot be done due to language conflicts. An emulator solves this problem.

How do you connect direct cable through network card for two computers without Internet to play games on a LAN etc if they are running Windows xp?

1) You purchase the cable 2) You plug it into the network adapter (network card). If the cable directly connects two computers, you need a crossover cable; if the computers are connected via a switch (this lets you connect more than two computers), you need a straight cable. Make sure to measure how much cable you need, and to purchase some extra length, to let you move the computers around freely.
