Most recent computers have built-in NICs, either PCI or integrated
into the motherboard.
If your home computer doesn't have a NIC, here are some possibilities:
1. Install an internal PCI NIC.
2 Connect a USB Ethernet adapter. I recommend USB Ethernet if the
computer has USB 2.0 ports, but not if it only has the slower USB 1.0
ports. Examples of USB 2.0 Ethernet adapters are the Netgear FA120
and D-Link DUB-E100.
3. If both computers have FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports, you can network
them directly using a FireWire cable.
