Newbie wireless question(s)

[Snow White]

A router (is best but a hub or switch can work as well) and the 
ethernet cables (cat 5a usually) and OSX or Dave to share files between 
the two machines.  Also an ethernet printer will save needing a printer 
for each computer as it can be shared.

Another way is a Router / Airport solution (or other wireless solution) 
and Airport Cards for each device.  Use an Ethernet cable for a shared 
printer.  This costs a bit more, but no wires and a Laptop is really 
mobile.

Note: The reason a router is best is because it hides your network with 
multiple IP addresses behind it.  Most ISPs have a clause in their User 
Agreement that state one device only allowed to connect at a time.  The 
router broadcasts only one IP address out to your ISP.  If your ISP 
wanted to watch your web traffic for anomalies they could determine how 
many devices you actually have behind the router,  but if you cause no 
problems it is not in their interest.

Good luck.
