oh yeah my router has only 1 Ethernet out too i didn't even notice  ,
is yours a bit like this ?
in such cases you either just plug a switch (if you have one) in the ethernet out of the router then plug you and your friend in the switch.
it's not a pretty neat idea cause you are "still" on the internet and might have problems seeing each other.
If i were you i'd get a Crossover cable (get one at the stores).
edit :
this also depends on the router, in my case for example, my ISP will need to give me 2 IP cause my so-called router does not have built in dhcp
