The easiest way to set it up is to get a router (~$100), and plug all three items into it. What OSes are you running?

If your ISP gives you more than one IP address, you don't need to spend as much as the price of a router. All you really need is a switch (preferably) or even a hub.
This is the simplest way to go about it.

You could also use a master-slave configuration, where one computer must be on all the time and act as a "server."
