An NIC is a Network Interface Card, and usually a seperate card in your machine to give you an ethernet port.  You might have an ethernet port (RJ45) on your motherboard already without having an NIC - just look for an ethernet port (RJ45) which is like a normal phone port only slightly larger.

If you only want to link the computers to each other, install NIC's in each machine, and connect them using a crossover ethernet cable.\n\nIf you want to network the computers and share an internet connection, the method will be determined by whether you have dial-up or a high speed (DSL or cable) connection.  You don't give enough information to point you in the right direction.

Ok. Here is what I think is happening. Your router is assigning dynamic IP's to your PC' within the network. That should not cause any kind of trouble. \n\nHowever, If you want to assign static IP addresses to the computers, then there should be a setting within the router's configuration where it says "Reserve IP...."\n\nYou will have to enter the MAC Addresses of the 2 PC's and then reserve IP's. \n\nI hope that helps.\n\nYour router, also has an IP address, but that IP address will be assigned by your internet service provider. The router IP is generally dynamic and is governed by the DHCP servers of the ISP. If you want static IP on the router, you will have to contact your ISP and tell them that you want a static IP assigned to your connection. They may charge you more for that.

No this is not possible in the way you want to use it. If one of the computers has two nics in it, you could use the first NIC to connect to cable modem, and then configure the pc to support shared internet to computers connected via the 2nd NIC. A used router should only cost about 10 bucks and would be a better solution to share the internet connection.\nKeep in mind that your cable provider will only provide you with a single IP address unless you pay additional. Therefore any attempt to statically configure your ip address + 1 would not be successfull and likely would cause you to find the cable company knocking at your door.

If they both have Ethernet RJ-45 jacks (network cards installed) then all you have to do is get a pier-to-pier cable and plug them both in.  No other hardware is required. \n\nThis cable is special in that the transmit and receive wires are switched on one end, so what one computer transmits, the other one receives, and vice versa. \n\nPlug them in and run the network setup wizard - you'll be in business.

Pick up a router.  If you don't want to run cables, you can pick up a wireless router and a wireless network card from most electronics stores.  Run an ethernet cable from the DSL modem to the router's WAN port, and then the router will share the connection with all machines attached to it.  If you have any questions on setup or equipment choices, feel free to email me...\n\nYou could do Internet Connection Sharing in Windows XP, but that would require a different setup... let me know what you're more interested in doing... either way you'll have to have some networking equipment so that you can connect the two machines...\n\nLater!

No\n\nIf you want to connect multiple computers to a single network connection, buy a router.

there can only be ONE router in on a network, then switches and access points for any expansions to it.  2 routers will end up conflicting with each other.\n\nSimilar to what this product can do:\nhttp://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=346\n\nThough you may have to contact dlink to see if yours can be come an access point.  Sift though google as well.

If you disable NAT then you give up DCHP with allocates LAN IP addresses. You will have to setup a static IP address.\nWhat you may have to do is set one router as "Gateway" and the second router as to "Router". The down side is your second router will have to access the internet thru the Gateway router. On the positive side you could then save the cost of one ADSL, Cable, or T-1 connection.

Each PC requires a NIC (network connection), then you'll need either \na single crossover cable \nOR \ntwo normal network cables and a switch.

Actually you don't need a router. Buy a switch -  much cheaper and will do the job for you. Or... you can buy another network adapter and configure it. Example:\nComputer1 (allready have a link to internet) has 2 NIC's (1 which exists and 1 you have to buy)\nComputer2 (the one you want to use on internet too) has 1 NIC\n!!!now, you can configure computer1 using ICS (Internet connexion sharing) - if you are using Microsoft Windows XP -> this will let you have internet on the computer2. Xp will do almost all settings for you... It's easy.

Use a crossover cable between NICs on the machines. You can buy one or wire it up yourself. Once you have a link you just need to setup the IP properties as below and you should be able to talk to each other.\n\nIP Settings Computer 1\nIP: 192.168.1.1\nSubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0\nDefault Gateway: 192.168.1.1\n\nIP Settings Computer 2\nIP: 192.168.1.2\nSubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0\nDefault Gateway: 192.168.1.1\n\nThe wiring for a CAT 5 crossover is as follows\n\nEnd 1 Standard 568A\nPin 1 - White Green\nPin 2 - Green\nPin 3 - White Orange\nPin 4 - Blue\nPin 5 - White Blue\nPin 6 - Orange\nPin 7 - White Brown\nPin 8 - Brown\n\nEnd 2 Standard 568B\nPin 1 - White Orange\nPin 2 - Orange\nPin 3 - White Green\nPin 4 - Blue\nPin 5 - White Blue\nPin 6 - Green\nPin 7 - White Brown\nPin 8 - Brown

First of all, you have to check to make sure that your other LAN cable is a straight cable. Otherwise you can swap LAN cables between this 2 PC to connect to the router.\n\nThen when you boot into Windows, go to Start > Run > Type cmd > Click OK. Do a "ipconfig" in DOS prompt and see if your 2nd PC gets an IP address from your router.  You can do likewise on your 1st PC to see what is the gateway of your router. Then verify the information on your 2nd PC. If the numbers are not right, you can type "ipconfig /renew" and let your 2nd PC get a new IP address from the router.

both system must have a network card (nic)\nu need a cross over network cable\nboth system must have same workgroup name\nthen share the folders\nif u want to access the internet- u need to install Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).\ndun forget your firewall - u need to allow access or the firewall will not allow u to access from the other system\nu can go to www.practicallynetworked.com to read all the tutorials on networking.

Yes, use windows ICS.  The instructions are in the source I added.  If your two computers aren't connected through a cross over cable, you will need a switch or hub.  Then with the second nic card in the server computer connect that to the internet.  Right click on the internet connection and select internet connection sharing.\n\nBest of luck.

To connect them select "Direct Cable" when setting up the network. On your dual boot you will have to set it up twice. One in each instance oof windows. ME and W2k.\nIf you decide to setup broadband through one computer and allow the second computer to access the internet thru the first, use two different brand of NIC in the first computer. This will reduce conflicts when setting up your first computer.

Each machine will nead to have a NIC (network interface card) installed. The cheapest and fastest way would be to buy four Cat 5e ethernet cables and network the machines together using a Hub, Router or Switch. If you have Windows XP, you're done. Windows XP will automatically configure the network for you. If you have an earlier version you'll have to go to Network Places and add a network, on each machine.\n\nGood luck and have fun.
