I would think it should be fairly similar? _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (in reply to d a v e)

traveler98 Posts: 362 From: Dallas Tx USA Status: offline	RE: simple networking - 12/16/2005 20:20:35 you will probably need a router. A crossover cable will network the two machines, and is great for moving data between the two. However unless your machines have more than one ethernet card and I haven't seen that before.......how are you going to connect to the net? Your network connections are being used for the crossover cable (in reply to d a v e)
