laptop to laptop

does anybody know if i can connect one laptop to another.and use the internet on both

 

Plug them both, and the router that provides the internet access into a network switch.

 

thanks sam but i am a bit new to this could you explain a bit more please

 

Buy one of these, and get three network cables. Plug both laptops, and your router into it.
