Just buy a DSL/Cable router.  They are cheap and you don't need your
first computer running while you use the other.

Wouldn't it be a much better, less expensive, and total no-brainer answer to
tell the person just to get a workgroup hub and network the two computers
through that? Or, is that what you intended to say?
