networking me to xp

I want to network my Inspiron 8000 notebook running ME to
my new Inspiron 8500 running XP via a switching cable.
However, my ME has no internal network adapter. Eventually
all computers will be hooked up to dsl. Which adapter
should I get for the Inspiron 8000 notebook running ME???

If the notebook has a PCMCIA slot, you can get a network adapter to go
in it. If it has a USB port, you can get a USB network adapter.
