As far as connecting between computers with a regular network cable... well, it depends on what you mean by "regular." That cable you have running to your cable modem right now won't work. It's a regular network cable. You need a crossover ethernet cable to connect two machines directly with no network equipment in between. It crosses cables over (who'da thunk?) to make the inputs into outputs and vice versa, so each computer recognizes the other. $10 at RadioShack, $5 online. Again, network it exactly as if there were actually a router or switch in between. Piece of cake.
