Most decent computer shops will be able to provide you with a standard straight through ethernet lead. Probably going to come premade in a 20m length.

If you have the ability to place a wire, then that can be cheaper than getting wireless routers and stuff. Also can be a more robust network, fewer risks of interference and the like. However the advantage of a laptop, in it's portability is a little stifled by attaching it to ethernet rather than wireless.
