| 141187 | 2003-05-04 02:29:00 | hi, i have a 2 computers, one running win 2000 and win xp pro. I would like to connect them together so that i can transfer files and play starcraft. I dont care about printer or internet sharing. I know that they both have a network card but i dont know what to do with it. Do i need to buy a cable that connects them together? If so, what do i do next? i know nothing about these things........... thanks very much |

| 141190 | 2003-05-04 04:54:00 | A crossover cable will be in order :-) Check the PressF1 FAQ (Unless that's where Tweak'es URL was pointing to ;;-)) |

| 141191 | 2003-05-04 11:05:00 | Yes Chill is right. All you need is a crossover cable to connect the two PC's. Get one thats going to be long enough to reach between the computers with room to spare. A Cat6 cable rather than cat5 will also give you better results. Try Dick Smiths. And that FAQ, find the link on that guys site that has the FAQ rewritten with supporting screenshots on how to do it. Print that off. Following that faq got my network set up perfectly. |
