For what purpose do you need to connect them?

What is already in the Laptop? Does it have a LAN port on it already, how about WiFi?

Most modern hardware has ethernet built in. For 2 computers with no router, use a crossover (sometimes called 'twisted') cat5 cable.

Hook them together with a crossover cable, use the network setup wizard on each computer, turn on simple filesharing and give each wizard the name of the other computer. It's that easy.
