You can still share a dial-up connection between 2 computer (what i'm doing at the moment). It will just be quite slow if both computers are trying to access the internet at the same time. |

| 195126 | 2003-11-28 00:46:00 | Hi Beetle To save yourself sometime, I think we established some weeks ago that your machine does not have a NIC nor onboard lan when we were trouble-shooting your slow bootup time on this PC. Your Office machine because it is newer however might have onboard lan. Look under Device Manager > Network Adapters for a device listing. |

Yes we did :D - in this very long thread ( . pcworld . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=40321&message=205818&q=network#205818" target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz) near the bottom . > ok going off to check other one . yes it does has a > red cross over it though??? > says CNet Pro 200 PCI Fsat Ethernet Adapter . This machine already has a NIC card installed - just needs to be enabled when you are ready to utilise it . > ok so one does and one doesnt . . . what does this tell > me . . . You just need to have a NIC put into the older machine, they are quite cheap . Then you add the cross-over cables and you are all done (hardware wise at least :D) |

| 195130 | 2003-11-28 01:28:00 | You could get your local friendly tech to call by and put the card in plus then set up the network configuration for both machines - you can learn from watching him/her. Or you can give it a go yourself - putting in the NIC is the easy bit :D You can buy any brand of NIC - out of interest, here is a piccy of the card you have in the office machine already - see here (www.ascent.co.nz). You will also need to get a anti-static strap first it you decide to DIY. This website here (resnet.plattsburgh.edu) has a pictorial guide of what the innards looks like (it is an older model PC so your innards will look a bit different). Ignore the reference to ISA slots in that site, you will be using a PCI card. |
