You'll necessitate a USB P2P cable. Dependant on your requirements is whether you ought to opt for 1.1 or 2.0. Are your intentions involving the cable for gaming purposes, as utilising USB 2.0 will be highly beneficial.

just get an nic card for your comp, and a usb ehternet connection which is a ethernet card that plugs into teh laptop by usb, or u could just get a pcmcia one. and last thing u need is a crossover cable to connect between the nic cards. then run home network setup wizard.
