    if your pcs both have bluetooth, then I bet they both have ethernet.

    You could use an ethernet switch to connect them together (15 $) plus 2 ethernet cables (probably around 5$ each.

    If you really want to save, then use just one ethernet cable between the 2 computers.

    On the computer that has the Internet connection, you need to configure that connection as shared so that the other computer can use it.

    If you do it that way, the computer that has the ethernet connection must be on when the other one wants to use the Internet.

    A better solution is to use an Internet (ADSL or cable or whatever) that routes to ethernet. In that case, also conenct the Internet Modem to the ethernet switch mentionned above.

    If you do that, both pcs can use the Internet independantly (although they share the bandwidth if they access at the same time (no miracles yet!)
