I tried the Netgear brand powerline adapters and they did not seem to work very well. Maybe the wiring in the house is old or some other factor. Sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't without changing anything.
I think I am going to do wireless on both computers and deal with the weak signal, besides it looks much better without all the wires. Thanks everyone for the advice and tips.

Cable modem and my father's computer was in one end of the house. My mothers computer was at the other. Both computers are desktops and wireless did make sense for their setup. Two Linksys powerline adaptors has worked great for years.
