If you get a router you can setup a home network.

If you just want to connect two computers together without connecting them to the Internet all you need is a cross-over cable between two Network Interface Cards in each computer.

If you wanted to connect three or more computers together you would need a switch. A router is only needed when you need to connect your network to another network like the Internet.
