    connecting the laptops together is easy as most laptops nowadays have integrated NICs (network interface card) all you need is an Ethernet cable (CAT5 crossover cable) connecting both laptops together with their RJ45 sockets

    an RJ45 socket looks like:

    this & this is where you connect the Ethernet cable on both laptops

    but i have to ask why do you want to connect these 2 laptops together ?
