I have my pc and I have another pc in a different bedroom. What would be the easiest way to network them together but also the most reliable? Any help will greatly be appreciated!!:rotfl:

Are you looking to share internet access? If so, a router like the NetGear or Linksys work well. Two network cards, a broad bandwidth account, 3 patch cables, and a router.

Not share internet access? Just network the two computers....just get a pair of network cards, and a crossover cable.

Keep a neat appearance, separate rooms, no drilling or running wires? A wireless router.
