You'd almost certainly need a router, although there's a possibility
that you could plug one computer into the ethernet port and the other
into the USB port.  I'd recommend the faster computer on the USB port.

If it'll work as above, you can probably do normal home networking,
but I'm not optimistic about my suggestion above.
