Another one that I have to  finish...! Beam me up Scotty I'm shifting gears... Lets forget about all the different options  right now and focus on the details of my own setup using 3Com 10/100TX  Fast Ethernet network interface cards (NIC's). For two computers you do not need a hub, all you need is an ethernet  crossover cable. Refer to the <a href="http://www.makeitsimple.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=8" target="_blank">DIY  Crossover how-to</a> on how to make your own. Start by going to Control panel, open the Network Icon and click on  the Identification tab.  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Make sure you give each computer a unique name.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Chose a Workgroup name and use the same name on all computers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The computer description can be whatever you like.</li> </ul> <img src="http://www.makeitsimple.com/images/NetIdentification.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Click on Access Control tab, enable Share-level access control<img src="http://www.makeitsimple.com/images/NetAccessControl.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Next click the Configuration tab and you should see the following. Client for Microsoft Networks, if Client for NetWare is there also  you can highlight it and click the remove button, it is not needed. The picture below shows a 3Com NIC you will see the name for whatever  NIC you have. If there is no entry for you NIC then you have to trouble  shoot the NIC installation. I always install both NetBEUI and IPX/SPX on a fresh install, then  once everything is working you can delete whichever protocol you don't  use. However, if you are going to play IPX games then you may as well  leave both because to share files you need NetBEUI and for games you  will need IPX. The screen below is part one of two. <img src="http://www.makeitsimple.com/images/NetConfig1.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Part two. <img src="http://www.makeitsimple.com/images/NetConfig2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> If anything is missing click the add button and add the appropriate  protocol. When you add a protocol the network card will automatically  create corresponding entries for itself. Now highlight TCP/IP for your NIC like in the picture below - then  click the properties button.<img src="http://www.makeitsimple.com/images/NetTCPnic.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Select specify an IP address and enter the numbers exactly as they  appear below.<img src="http://www.makeitsimple.com/images/NetTCP1.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  On the second and third machines use the same numbers except  increment the last digit for each machine. Example the second machine  would be 192.168.0.2 and a third machine would be 192.168.0.3 The subnet Mask stays the same for all machines and in this example  we are using 255.255.255.0 Next click on DNS Configuration and Enable DNS For Host enter the name you gave this machine in the first step under  the Identification tab. On the other machines use the unique name given  to each machine from step one Enter 192.168.0.1 into the field with the dots and click the add  button. Use this same number for all machines in the network. <img src="http://www.makeitsimple.com/images/NetTCP2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />OK, you made it this far now open a DOS-Prompt window on the computer  192.168.0.1 and type ping 192.168.0.2 and you should see data returned  showing the ping time between the two computers. If you receive an error  you need to go back and check all of the settings. Good Luck! <a href="http://www.makeitsimple.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=7&page=1" target="_blank">http://www.makeitsimple.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=7&page=1</a><a href="http://www.mis-forums.com/vbbs/" target="_blank">http://www.mis-forums.com/vbbs/</a></blockquote>
