If it will be just an occasional hookup, a special USB connection cable is probably the best. They cost about 20-30 US$.

I would just set up a home network. That wat you could get internet on both comps as well as file transfer. This might cost about 40-50 bucks. It is also faster then the usb. You can also set it up so you can print to the same printer.

p.s. If your comp runs slow go to www.defrag.tk
