I would use eclipse instead of BT, cheaper and better support.

As for the networking side, buy a cheap old PC (very low spec) and put =
ipcop
on it (www.ipcop.org), the software is free and acts as a firewall & =
router.
Then just a couple of network cards for each of your client PC's =
(oh...and
one for the firewall) and a cheap hub/switch.

There ya go....2 networked PC's on the net with a firewall

HTH

Any advice (for a networking novice) would be much appreciated.
