I got a £10 parallel Cable double end, which plugs two computers together via the parallel port, then used "Direct Cable Connection" which comes with windows.
You can play Championship manager on the same computer. Thats the easiest way and the cheapest. You aint gonna be able to network two computers without spending about 40 quid oin the process i dont think. The two network cards and the cable.
You can use ISDN cables as network cables i think.
im not that clued up with the whole networking ting.
check internet sites maybe.

Patch? You mean crossover, unless you feel like spending half an hour with a soldering iron and heatshrink :-)
I really would go for the rj45 option. Even if you're an idiot and buy from PC World you're looking at total expenditure of under £30, whereas USB kits usually cost in the region of £50 and give you poor performance.
Note, you can't just plug two USB ports into each other with male-male cable, as I'm told you'll be lucky not to blow your USB bus. Didn't happen to me though.

There are a few choices, these are:
Buy 2 NIC's (network interface cards) which are around £10 - £15 each and some Rj45 Patch cablew which will be form £5 - £15 depending on length needed ( can also get all this in a kit ), this will give you a max of 100Mbps transfer (can get the 1gig card, but not really worth it for what you wanna do).
Buy a USB network kit, this way you will need USB (universal serial bus) ports on both pc's and the kit, this is only a max of 12mbps transfer rate but is easier than the NIC's one as you don't have to open the pc up and fit 2 cards, also the USB kit will probably be a little more expensive than NIC's
They are your best bets, as there are tons of differant types of networks.
