How to network computers together with RJ45's?
611442
Personally I recommend that even if you do not have cable or DSl you network with a router. Two reasons. 1, if you ever go HSI all you really have to do is plug in your modem. 2, it makes networking almost effortess.\nI have been using and recommend the Linksys Network Everywhere NR041wm router*. It is inexpensive and simple to use. I bought my first in '98 and two lighting strikes later I am on my third.

You can configure the wi fi network for ad hock use that will enable the laptops to connect to each other.  \nHowever for internet access also between the two laptops \nyou'd have to connect one computer to a wired router vai the RJ 45 plug.  Then build a microsoft bridge between the wired connection and the wireless network.

Well - assuming your already have an ISP (and its not dial-up) and a wireless card for your pc.  Plug your RJ21 phone line in to your router and your and power it on.  From there you should be able to log on to your router. Go to start/run and type cmd then do an ipconfig and you you see your default gateway be something like 192.168.1.1 type this in to your browser and you should be able to connect to your router and from there you will be able to set security options.\n\nBTW it should have come w/ a manual that should have step-by-step instuctions.

Your question isn't clear...  if you're looking for just a cable with an RJ45 (Ethernet) connector on one end and a USB connector on the other... you'll have a long search (I'm sure there is some exotic application which includes just such a thing, but not in the "mainstream")\n\nYou can, however, get USB-compatible devices, which will act as wired or wireless network interface, if that's what you mean?\n\nAnywhere that you would go for over-the counter networking gear will have them. I've been out of the UK for a number of years, so I can't give you a list...  "Staples" is a name that comes to mind...\n\nDrop me a line if I can be of further assistance.

laptop and desktop?..\n\ngoto network connection properties of both computers, enter IP address and subnet mask on both computers to the same subnet and use a 'cross over' cable to connect both. And yes, better if they are in the same workgroup!

u could great a network if both machines have network cards and booth running windows xp and u would just need a crossover cable. \nand below is the guide.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/default.mspx\n\nor if the main pc has a dvd writer u can burn it all to 1 dvd disk\nor use the pen drive between.

You need to have ethernet card on both the pcs and get the same connected through cat5 or cat 6 with cross over cable. or you can have both connected through serial cable.

Download the drivers for the network card from the internet.\n\nFor example if the card is made by linksys, goto www.linksys.com\n\nOnce you have installed the drivers, you then connect the card and the computer can work with it.

Yes, using a hub.  You can also connect 2 computers together using a crossover cable.

With LAN, just a crossover cable will suffice. with wifi then an absolute doddle.\n\nThere is a wizard to help you set the netwrk up, run it on both machines, make sure that both machines are marked belonging to the same group : mshome for example - and away you go.\n\nIf you have problems, please be a tiny bit more specific - eg; hardware or software queries.\n\nYou do *** NOT *** need a server to connect two PC's, you do not even need a hub.

yes, or set up a router to automatically assign ip addresses as the computers connect. good luck.

There is a solution to do this that will work without using a hub/switch. It's really kind of easy and not too hard to set up.\n\nTHE HARDWARE - \n\n3 PCI 10/100 NICs\nI reccommend Linksys cards. They tend to work the best in my experience. 3Com are nice to have, but tend to run a little spendier. \nSome computers will have the ports you need built in. Look on the back of your computer. You should see some ports that look like phone jacks. You can distinguish a phone jack from a network jack by the number of gold pins that are in the center of the jack. If there are four pins, thats a telephone line (RJ-11). Eight Pins signifies a network jack (RJ-45).\n\nYou will also need a Cat5 Crossover Cable. If you don't have one or you don't know what I'm talking about, go to your local Best Buy, Radio Shack, WalMart etc and try to find one in the computer section. Its very important that it says CROSSOVER. \n\nSOFTWARE-\n\nWindows XP. Thats it.\n\nTHE SETUP-\n\n1) Install the network cards so that one machine has two network ports in it and one machine has only one. \n\n2) Install any drivers that came with the NICs. \n\n3) Hook up the cable modem / dsl modem so that the network port on the modem connects to one of the network ports on the machine that has two network ports.\n\n4) Connect the crossover cables between the open network port on the computer with two network ports and the computer that has only one network port.\n\n5) On the computer connected to the modem, set up Internet Connection Sharing. (For tips on how to do this, visit Microsofts website <a href=http://www.microsoft.com>here</a>.\n\nThat's It! Enjoy the internet on two seperate computers.

if u have a network adapter card (LAN card on both the machines) then buy some cat-5 type cable get some one to crimp it for u with tow RJ-45 adaptors and make sure they are "crossed" not "strait" connection then join the two machines with the cable and then use a network wizard to configure the two systems together "create a small lan or bussness", folow the instructions

Its the same jack, rj48 is used for T1 or PRI lines etc & uses all the 8 copper lines if i remeber right. Where as rj45 uses 4 & is designed for ethernet

You will need a cross over R45 to RJ45 cable to connect your laptop to the Dreambox.\nIf however, you use a network switch (very cheap around £20/£30) then you will need 2 straight cables and connect each item to the network switch. Hope this helps.\n\nFor both cases, you will have to configure ICS (internet connection sharing) on your laptop. With XP it should be plain sailing

The most conventional way now would be to buy a router, all necessary connecting cables or wireless adapter cards if needed to connect two or more computers together.  However, this is a very broad question and is not specific enough to go into detail.    Information is needed on the reason you want to network, what types & how many computers, what operating system they use, etc.

AN RJ45 Connector can be connected directy into the port of a switch and LAN Card!
