You mean a network connection between 2 computers without a component like a hub/switch/router?
Well, if you do...
Between 2 computers (from ethernet card to ethernet card) you'd use a crossed network cable.
To connect a computer to a hub, switch or router (or whatever) you'd use straight network cables. |

Or use a serial connection. That was the old way to do it, but I'm not sure if Windows offers it anymore. _________________ This help is informational only.

You could use a cereal connection too, they are lightning fast and taste good too.
Sorry I am tired. |
