You do NOT need to have the same (type/model of) network card in two computers to network them. Though the network cards must be for the same type of network (eg: ethernet), so that you will have the same type of connections/same type of cable going to each in most cases. But there are definitely exceptions. And the network cards must be compatible with the OS in which itis installed. In my room I have 3 different brands of Network cards connecting 3 different types of systems. I would suggest you search the net for some basic networking how-to's.
