Get a crossover network cable. If you're only connecting 2 computers they can be networked without a server or a router. ==Or== Install wireless network cards in both laptops.

How do i network 12 computers using a switch?
To create a functional network with a switch you will need a DHCP server either from a router plugged into the switch or from an actual server that has DHCP installed on it. The function a switch brings to a network is to provide more ports for additional computers, when multiple machines are plugged into a network they need addresses in order to communicate. A DHCP server (from a router or traditional server) will provide an IP address to multiple machines thus assigning addresses that the computers can use to communicate on said network. A home router such as some made by Linksys or D-link should be sufficient to provide 12 computers with ip addresses. Just plug the router into the switch with the 12 computers and set the DHCP range for atleast 12 IP addresses.
How can you network two or more computers in your home?

What is awireless router?
A wireless router is a device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. A wireless router works in the same way as the router in a hard-wired home or business local area network (LAN), but allows greater mobility for notebook or portable computers. The individual computers are equipped with small wireless transceivers that can be plugged into either a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port or a PC Card slot.
Who is connected to my wireless network?
You should be able to check how many computers are connected to your router, in the router settings. Most likely you can find it in "Status" for wireless network or for all networks. You check MAC addresses for all your computers connected to the router and compare it with those in the list. In that way you know if you have some "guests". You find out who connected to your router will be much harder and require special software and training.PS: you can use MAC filter to block "guests".
Strong Wireless Router?
A wireless router takes your Internet connection from your modem and splits it with other computers on your network. The stronger the wireless router the better the signal you will receive. The stronger the signal the further you can be from the router and receive an Internet connection. As good as a strong signal sounds you should consider that your signal can be picked up your neighbors and passers by who may try to access your network.
Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.
