Connecting 2 computers without Hub

the best way to connect 2 computer is with a crossover cable..

u need a cat 5 cable.. it will be connected ffrom one lan card to another (no hubs in between)

the rj45 connection at the two ends will be different so its called cross over...
you will get the diagram of both end in the following link

*mbdw.s5.com/Lan/crossover.jpg

once the cable is done.. connect it to the lan cards and assign ip address to both machine as 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 the subnet mask of both machine will be 255.255.255.0. remember to assign the sharing permission.. then share ur folders. and ur lan connection is done.. this is the best and cheapest was to make a connection.. the rj 45 jacks about Rs2/- and the cable will hardly cost about Rs 10/- per metre. so if the machine are near by u will get the lan done with less than Rs/- 50.. if u dont have the crimping tool, then the peson who will crimp the rj45 jack may charge but that will be very veryvery minimal.

What kind of net connetion do u have.
Broadband or dial up???
If u internet over one pc then go to internet options of that pc & enable "network user to share internet connection"
Now go to other pc's internet option < connection <lan setting & enable "auto detect settings"
also check "never dial connection"
