I would connect them both via ethernet. They should both be able to use the

Just as a caution -- you'll want a *router*, likely one that provides NAT (network address translation...most provide it out of the box), not just a switch. Sometimes your ISP modem offers those router abilities built-in; sometimes you have to spring for a secondary router. Buying the wrong hardware will be an exercise in frustration with most ISPs (they only give you one public-facing IP address and the first machine online claims it)
