Is this case, is there any way to have my two computers networked to each other or
would I need
to simply move a hard drive cable (say an external USB type) to move the data?

Thanks!

Connect your two computers to ports on a small switch you put on the cart with them. Share files, printers, etc as you wish between them. Use a crossover cable from your switch to a house jack to connect your computers to the building network. You may find your computers will find a DHCP server on the house network which will give them IP addresses automatically, if not you will have to manually configure them with addresses assigned to you at that location by the network admin person.
