Assuming you are considering using the second computer to connect to the internet,you will need Windows 98 SE or Win ME if Internet Connection Sharing
Both Computers will need a NIC card
1 Cat 5 CrossOver Cable
This is the most simple and cost effective setup
Their are other options that can be researched by using Help and looking up ICS

NetGear sells a great home network starter kit that you can buy from CDW for about $80.00 that includes two NIC cards, two path cables, a 5 port smart 10/100 dual speed hub, and software to get you up and running.
