how to connect two laptops with one lan connection

[kjabhi]

I and my roommate are facing problem as we both have laptops ,but our room has been provided with a single LAN port(connection).
Suggest any way so that we can both use the same lan connection at the same time.

Just buy a ethernet switch if its a college LAN (you can do this on home network as well) and configure the computers according to the network (static or DHCP)

Ethernet switch with 4 ports from D-Link costs around 400/-

A decent LAN cable costs Rs.11/foot
