Option 1

PC1 <--------------> [HUB/SWITCH/ROUTER] <--------------> PC2

Option 2

PC1 <-----------------------------------------------------> PC2
(connected using Crossover Ethernet cable)

Legend:
<------->: Ethernet/LAN Cable


Pros and Cons
PRO
Option 1, you can add another PC if you want(depending on the number of ports the hub/switch/router[if router, you can even have wireless router]).

Option 2, very cheap and very easy to setup

CON
Option 1 is expensive, considering that you have to buys extra device to achieve a connection
Option 2, limited only to two computers.

Here's the answer. My question for the thread starter is, do you have a networking device?
