Home networking question
I've just bougth another computer and have a little question about how to integrate it into our home network.
Currently we have 2 PC's (one is mine and one is my farther's). They are both connected to a broadband router that then is connected to our ADSL modem. Now I have a second computer. I'd like my 2 computers in my room to be able to communicate with each other (so I can transfer files etc. between them) and get on the internet. I was wondering if anybody could tell me what the best option would be to establish this.
I could put 2 NIC's in each machine and have another ethernet cable pulled through to the router (so 1 NIC for internet and a second for a cross connect between the 2 computers), but I don't really want to have another cable pulled through and there must be other options.
I also have a laptop I wouldn't mind including in my network if this is possible. Maybe I need a hub?
