It's also possible to get an additional IP address from some ISP's for an extra $5 or so per month. If you do this, then you can set up the LAN with a simple hub or switch and it won't matter whether either computer is on or off since they are not sharing an address. Note that unless you have static IP addresses on the same subnet, you will need to install NetBEUI or IPX to handle file sharing on the LAN.
