My computer W2k can't get on the bloody internet to check press F1, because the line is always tied up. I know I should buy a hub, and network all three, and solve the problem, but I've got spare network cards lying around, and I like to experiment! My plan is to put two network cards in the kids W2k computer, and network mine to it, with another cross over cable, so that I can share the Internet as well. Has anyone ever tried this, or is there a fundemental problem with the whole idea?	Guest (0)

I can possibly see difficulties..But hey its work a crack purely from the Knowledge you will gain.. But i do reckon you should get a wee hub the old 10meg ones are cheap enough these days and the do make things more organised....Let us know how you get on.. ==Orac==	Guest (0)
