Buy a network card for your friends PC (about �5 ) and a crossover RJ45 network cable, again no more than �5 unless you shop at PC World of course. The crossover type of cable (as opposed to a patch cable) will save you the cost of a network hub. If at a later stage you wish to increase your network then you will need a hub but a more-than-adequate one is only about �20 to which you can connect either type of cable as it detects which type you are using and adjusts the relevant port accordingly.
