No.
If you are just trying to connect the two desktops together to share files between them, then you just need a simple hub or switch.
You can also use the router, but that would be overkill if you aren't connecting them to anything else (Internet, office network, etc).
If you are using a wireless router, you'll want to get a USB wireless adapter or add-in wireless PCI card to connect to the wireless router.
Again, if you are just trying to connect the two machines by themselves, just get a simple hub/switch.

It's really the other way around! You would want a router to hook up your 2 desktops! Unless you want to use a direct PC-to-PC connection. The other thing is, you may need to make the decision to use EITHER wired (Ethernet) or wireless, and then if you go with wireless, try a 802.11g router and cards!

Only if your router is a wireless router
