If you just want internet on both PC's, Plug and Play buddy, you are all set to go, Don't pay any attention to the naysayers telling you to run wireless upstairs because that will just open you to attack from wardrivers. Obviously you are just a basic user, and as long as you don't pinch the cable you run upstairs, you're golden.

Running the cable indoors is preferred, but it will be fine outside for a long time, long time, before it gets beyond useable.....

Hope this helps and good luck.

Ok, Since you want a wired network and not a wireless network this is what you will need.
