For starters you'll need a way of connecting the machines together. This can be wirelessly (say connecting both machines to a the same wireless network), via ethernet cables to a router, or maybe a combination of both (one connected wirelessly and another via an ethernet cable). There are other options, connecting via ethernet cables to a switch, using a crossover ethernet cable between the machines or connecting them wirelessly via an AdHoc wireless network. I guess the best bet is to let us know exactly what you want to achieve and what you have already (wireless router, cables etc). In my case I have a wireless router, a couple of switches and a server with a couple of machines connected by ethernet cable and some by wireless although you don't need anything this complicated for a simple network. You may find that you have everything you need to get started already (such as a wireless router used for internet access and two machines connected to the router somehow so they can see the internet).
