I have rj-45 crossover cable and 2 pc with inbuild ethernet card? i don't know how to connect two pc's

Question

tell url with easy diagram

Answer 1

If you have a crossover cable and both computers have a network card, you don't need a diagram; just plug the network cable into each computer. That will set up a two-computer network.

computer1 <----- crossover cable -----> computer2

(It must be acrossover cable though - a normal cable wont work.)

Make sure they're both in the same workgroup so that you can easily share files and acces each other.

Answer 2

Just connect the crossover cable to each PC.

Now, go onto each PC and set the following settings in TCP/IP settings:

Machine one
----------------
IP ADDRESS - 192.168.0.1
SUBNET MASK - 255.255.255.0

Machine two
----------------
IP ADDRESS - 192.168.0.2
SUBNET MASK - 255.255.255.0

Nothing else is required. No gateway. No DNS. Nothing else.


Now if you want to share the data, go to windows explorer, and share the drive and map it as a new netwok drive on the other system. Make sure you give the right passsword.
