My son would like to network his 2 computers

anandtech.com has recently posted a good 2-part Introduction to Networking article which goes over your options pretty well.
I would agree with Spots to go with a 10/100 Fast Ethernet Kit. If yours sons network will consist of only two machines for the near-term future you could also,so I understand, dispense with the hub until another machine is added and use what is called a crossover network where the machines are wired directly to each other.
This is all covered in Anands networking primer... your son should check it out.
