Waype,

Networking two computers is a lot of fun.  Some idea of the equipment (make and
model numbers when available), that you have, would be a good thing to start
with.  How close is "the same room"?  Can you run a single cable between the two
computers?  Do you want a permanent connection?  Do you want to share Internet
service, or just to connect for file sharing?

Next, I'll ask you to read my tutorial on networking your computers, and ask
questions about details.  The Linksys tutorial should be useful to you.
