jj250873 is right - an ethernet RJ45 To RJ45 crossover cable. Cheap, simple and very fast. Much much faster and more convenient than DCC if you already have two ethernet cards. Much better for sharing resources such as printers too.

You should be able to get a short crossover cable for about £5. Be warned though - many high street retailers haven't got a clue - I bought a cable that I was assured was a crossover version - it wasn't.

Look for X/OVER or CROSSOVER stamped on the cable itself.
