Andrewas gave you lots of good info. PC to PC is a local area network or LAN, and just TCP/IP will do fine. I use Linksys for my networking equipment, and you can get a multiport router rather cheaply. With it, all I need are straight-through cables.

When you ask for network cables at your local computer store, they will give you straight-through cables. You will actually have to ask for a crossover cable if you need one; it's the exception, not the rule.
