LAN??? please help??

Question

please give me step by step how to have a network between two computers

Answer 1

The methods are

install an extra LAN card on one PC, and use cross cable to connect, if you have the knowledge of networking,

if no visit here ( http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/ether... ) or buy it from computer Shop,

after connecting physically, keep them on same workgroup, For workgroup Right click My Computer -> Properties->Select Computer Name Tab check here for workgroup, the Workgroup name must be same on both PC,

Now give an ip address to in manually or assign it automatically as u wish for manual you must be keep ip address in same class if you know other wise choose automatically,

now ping both of them with each other, if you know ping command this is like go to command prompt and write ::-ping 192.168.1.6 IP address of second PC, this is only an example,

This is one method You can get success, If You can't

Then open My Network Places ->View Network Connections- Here you can see both of the connections internet connection and lan card, Now select both of them and Right click on it, there Will be a option , Bridge Connection, click on it, And it will make a bridge for both of the connections, This is also a Method of getting Connected if You face trouble
