    You will need a router and another ethernet cable to plug into the router. Make sure yyou are using broadband and not dialup.

    I see at least 2 ways.

    1. Get a wireless router, and a wireless pci adapter. The pci adapter plugs into the back of your computer, and picks up the wireless signal.**

    2. Ethernet cables come in many lengths. If a cable can possibly be ran between both computers, you would only have to buy a normal router (not wireless), and the proper-length ethernet cable.

    #2 saves you money, but the trouble of running a cable from room to room, without it being an eyesore, can be difficult.

    **For the wireless pci adapter, this one on Amazon gets good reviews, and it costs $25 less than the Linksys brand.
