You need a network router with NAT and DHCP. You wire the two
computers to the router or you can use wireless cards with a wireless
router to accomplish the task.
 Do a google.com search for windows networking. If you don't need to
network the two computers together so they see each other using the
Network Router with NAT and DHCP connected to the cable modem
is quick and easy.

Here is a ebay auction with a wired Network Router that has NAT and
DHCP.

If your computers are fairly new they should already have LAN ports
for the cables.

If you want a wireless network check out D-LINK or LINKSYS. The only
drawback is that you will need to use encryption to prevent your
neighbors or war drivers from using your computers, if you live out in
the sticks then you won't need to worry about that.
