For all those who already answered thank you, but I forgot one important detail that I missed. I misused the word networking, what I really need is just to connect them so I can use them together and get files from both computers. Is that possible?

Depends on the distance they are away from each other. If they're in separate rooms and you don't feel like running cable, then go wireless. Go to your local BestBuy or CompUSA store. Have someone there show you the wireless options. Have them point you to the products, but don't buy them just yet.
Search on eBay, www.pricewatch.com, or www.newegg.com for better deals. On occasion, the retail store will have rebates that make buying it there cheaper than snooping online.
He's going to recommend you get a router and wireless card. Don't let him/her talk you into buying "two" wireless cards, because you only need one for the PC that's not going to be in the same room as the wireless router. The one that is in the same room can use an ethernet cable going straight to the router.
As for setting up the sharing in Windows, go to the following sites for help:

i imagine it can make ideal experience. i have not heard of one it really is 3 hundred and sixty 5 days a three hundred and sixty 5 days yet some distributors do grant MLB more effective Innings and Superfan (for sure it truly is only for the conventional season although). i comprehend Directv grants it, yet i could not allow you to comprehend who else does. it truly is worth it truly is value, yet might want to be helpful to work out an each of the time community :) Kyle: Blackouts are literally not brought about by way of your cable or satellite tv for pc service.....nicely they're ....in spite of the undeniable fact that the team mandates even as blackouts take position. For the MLB i think they call a blackout if the game doesn't promote out interior seventy 2 hours in the previous the game starts. The cable and/or satellite tv for pc company indicators a freelance with the league and in the experience that they are advised to do a blackout and dont do it, then they have damaged their settlement. it truly is no longer some thing they could change both.

All you need is a router.
Once set up you'll be able to use 1 net connection for both machines, 1 printer, etc etc. And of course you'll need cables if they aren't wireless equiped.
Nothing much to it really.

Purchase a router. I recommend a linksys router. You may even want to explore wireless, but I don't recommend it. Hook the router up and properly configure the two computers. Your ip configuration will look like 192.198.1.xxx subnet will look like 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway and DNS will be 192.168.1.1. Good luck.
