You could use a switch, make one computer a gateway with injoy using
it's NAT, the other computer would go through the gateway. You would
have to have both computers on to do this. A hardware firewall is most
always better, I hear the Linksys router has a great one. IMO I would
recommend a good router with a great firewall as above. Unless you
wan't to move all over the house while using the laptop, stick with
wire. (your wire can be up to 300 feet long)
