How do I hook two computers together and make them see each other to play a game, in the same house in the same room? What exactly do I need. Both computers have win xp. For three or more do I use a hub?

You would use a cross over cable between the network cards of the CPU's which you should be able to get at radio shack. Also the CPU's should be on the same networks.
Example
IP Addr 192.168.1.1 for CPU 1
IP Addr 192.168.1.2 for CPU 2
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

cross over for similar devices, straight through if u have a hub/switch in the middle. Run the network wizard and it will take care of IP addresses. Report It
Well, basically you can buy a cable, although there are a lot of wireless options now, then after you conect the two computers, don't worry, your computer has only one jack that will fix with the inlet of this cable.
then go on Windows Xp where it says ''Create a small lan or bussness'', folow the instructions, basically just let the things as prederterninated, at the end say no to create a diskette.
Repeat the procedure in the other computer, restart and this would be all.
You need an ethernet cable and you just attatch it to the ethernet port. Ethernet is the phone cord type connector, but it has more prongs so the ends are longer.
