| 48353 | 2002-05-11 23:08:00 | I am considering networking my two computers via Realtek NIC's and a crossover cable. Both are on ME at the moment, but I may put XP on one soon. Is it necessary to have drivers and software for shared hardware such as Scanner,CD-writer,Printer, etc, installed on both computers? Also must Flight Sim and Joystick programmes be on both? Many thanks. Tom. |
