If these computers are at different physical locations then you will need a VPN between them and for that you will need some sort of VPN capable router at one or both ends (use a client at one end if you only put a router at one end)

They are physically in the same building, on the same floor, but in different offices.

OK can you get a cable (or even wireless connection between them).

If you can get a cable connection between them the best way is to do

ISP - ROUTER - Switch - computers

Switch is optional as many SOHO routers have switches built in

What do you mean by "The second PC is in a different office and uses a USB Modem to connect to the Clear tower?"

have a client who is switching from Verizon to Clear as their ISP. Information on Clear can be found at www.clearwire.com. There are two PCs in their office. The first PC is hard-wired to a Clear Modem. The second PC is in a different office and uses a USB Modem to connect to the Clear tower. The first PC is running Windows XP Pro. The second is running Windows 7.

Wall Jack >>> Clear Modem >>> XP pc
Windows7 >>> XP pc (how are they connected?)
USB Modem >>> Clear Tower >>> Windows7

I am going to try the router way. The modem in the front room receives a stronger signal than the modem in the other office. Thanks for the help.
