How do u link 2 computers without a network and proxy server? (Just to share programs and files)?

Answer 1

for that u need a cross cabling(thru lan)

You will create a Local Area Connection from Control Panel like this:
computer1
1. Network Connections
2. Create New Connection, if you have xp (it was all ready there )
3. IP address: a local Ip adress (Ex : 192.168.1.1)
4 Network mask: 255.255.255.0
5 Gateway: you can leave it blank

computer2 Local Area Connection configured like this :
1. Ip address: 192.168.1.xx
2. Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
3. Gateway: The Ip adress of the second card on the server
4. DNS 1/2 only if required.

On the second connection that you created you will activate from :
1. Control Panel
2. Network Connections
3. Local area connection 2
4. Advanced, check the box: "Allow Other Users to connect through this computers internet connection".

note :the difficult part of this network is cross cabling(u need climping tool) which i think u cant do by your self if u don't know any thing about lan.get it don from some one who have knowledge about networking

Answer 2

You need a Serial cable, or a CAT cable.

You can setup a connection using network cards between two computers, but it doesent sound like thats what you want to do.

Answer 3

If you are in India adsl+modem can connect two computers .One through Usb and another PC with ethernet connection RJ45.
I have connected my laptop thru RJ45
and DesktopPC via usb port ( In PC no ethernet card !)d
And try XP file sharing options.

Answer 4

well if you have sufficient serial usb ports, or serial or parallel com ports you can hook them up, to link your computers as an external device. and you can look in the windows help section, on how to do this. but i would consider using network ethernet adapter, either internal or external ethernet hub, if you plan on using the two computers to efficiently access the internet.

Answer 5

Check out for nine pin communication ports in your PC if those are present join both the PCs with them. i d rather prefer to go for networking that's best now days
