Yep, it is possible. If both your systems have a LAN connection, all you need is a cross-cable (basically a LAN cable with a few wires changing positions so that one feeds the data and another accepts them) - give static IP addresses to both your LAN adaptors and connect and enjoy.... but that is IF both your systems have a LAN connection.

hi dude its very simple just implement a cross cable. In easy words if the distance is not too far **** all the standards and punch one end with whatever combinations as you wish.



On the other end you replace 1 with 3 and 2 with 6 at the other end, and WALLAH your cross cable is ready.
