Network Connections x 2 PCs

Hi

My son and I share an "Always On" Cable Internet connection through a 4-port
hub and cable Network. I want the two computers to connect "locally" and
share Files, printers and a scanner (without scarificing the internet
sharing).
My efforts on creating this connection were, so far, fruitless.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
As I am not technically inclined, "how-to" sites would be of great assistance.

Thanks
Poltonis
