you have to have networking hardware for both computers

you have two options. either you buy a wi-fi dongle, that's like this usb flash disk that you hook up to detect hotspots, or buy a pc card that supports networking or LAN if you plan to hook it up to just one other computer. a hub or router may be needed for more than two computers.
any of these options require you have xp if you are a pc user. having anything less is much a hassle to bear.

You can connect it to many ways...
if it has a USB port... get a USB to ETHERNET adapter, and plug into the ROUTER or SWITCH... and you're in.
