You may be able to put a second network card in one computer, and then
network the two computers together and use MS Internet Connection
Sharing. This would be the cheapest.
The way I have mine set up is with a single port DSL router by Linksys
(just search for DSL router at CDW or wherever you like to shop) and that
goes in to a hub, but I have about 10 computers connected to it, so I have
to have the hub.
Linksys does have a DSL routher that has four ports, which I think should
allow you to connect both computers to the router without a hub.
