That way if you decide you want to upgrade the network at a later date by adding a switch you wont need to run a new cable. Granted you could recrimp the cable or use the uplink port on a switch, but using a patch cable will be less hassle. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||

If I remember correctly, I read in one article (can't remember where) saying that in XP, we have to run the Wizard ( for network setup) at least once to establish a network connection. How true is it? |

Yes, but that would probably be more expensive + I don't have any plans for a third computer (but it could happen). |
