you have to use 2 pairs :- 1) green and 2) orange\nRJ-45 configuartion\n    one-end of RJ45  and other end is also same of straight cable.                               \n1.orange-white                                         \n2.orange                                                    \n3.green-white\n4.blue\n5.blue-white\n6.green\n7.browan-white\n8.brown\nyou can simple connect straight cables(patch cords) from hub to all computers lan card. link will be up and you can setup ip addressing and share your data.

easiest thing to do: get a router, For less than $50 you should be able to get a D-Link, Linksys or Netgear router that easily manages the network traffic between your machines. It will also allow you to share a broadband Internet connection (if you have one) and protect you via a firewall.\nJust get two standard network cables, connect each computer to the router, boot the computers, and they should recognize the new network automatically.

If you have ethernet jacks on each computer then you can get a crossover cable which will allow you to create a 2 computer LAN.  You can then setup file sharing on the old computer and just drag and drop your files onto the new computer :)

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

if you mean network them directly together, i'd say go witha router, if you are connecting through a LAN at say a university, you just need an ethernet cable.

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.

I use a Linksys router (they are $30 to $100 depending on where you are and if your need RF or not).\nAdd a couple cables and go.  It will do all the login and ip addressing work, so once you set it up you never have to touch anything again. \n\nI have also used one computer to feed another, but it had 2 network cards.

No.  I'm guessing that you're asking about connecting multiple computers to one incoming broadband connection.  To do this you would need to place a router after your modem.  The line out from the modem would connect to the WAN port on the router.  You would than hardwire each connection you wanted.\n\nOn the off chance that you're talking about load balancing/shotgunning...no, you can't do this with one connection.  You would need to seperate connections, one Cable and one DSL for example, and a router that was capable of load balancing.  This would not have a huge difference on your connection speed, but would provide load balancing (each connection would handle a portion of your incoming and outgoing traffic) or provide a fall over connection (lose one connection, the other would kick on)

You can do a network connection using router and network cables, the standard ethernet cables, but if you need to connect only 1 pc to 1 laptop, you dont need a router, instead you can use Crossover Cable and directly connect from your PC network card slot to Laptop's network card slot

You need a Y connector that will cost you less then half dollar, install a lan card in second computer, configure its IP and Connect both of your pc with the single Cable Connection line, but remember your cable operator can sniff that you are using two computers and charge you double. Your both pc will not able to connect to each other but will able to connect cable net.\nTo avoid double charging you may need a cascading proxy server. and to connect both computer to one another you will need a hub or switch.

you just need an ethernet network card in each pc and just connect with a crossover cable...........all cheap stuff........10-15 quid the lot          try this        http://www.homenethelp.com/web/diagram/crossover.asp

The easiest, quickest, way is with a router* and two ethernet patch cables. That is if you are connected with ADSL or CABLE modem.\n\nIf you are connected to the internet via dialup your best option is a modem for each computer and take turns. There is a dialup** router but a dialup speeds it will be painful. You will still need 2 ethernet patch cables but you will also need an external modem***\n\nThrid option is to use a ethernet crossover cable and ICS (Start>Program>Accessiores>Communications>Network Setup Wizard) in windows to allow the Computer #2 to access the dialup connection of computer #1.\n\nThree options.

1. Connect both laptop and computer at your router using 2 network cable.\n2. Power on the router.\n3. Go to My computer icon on desktop.\n4. Right click and select properties.\n5. Look for your workgroup and make sure that is same with the other computer, if there are not the same please proceed to the next steps.\n6. Click to change your workgroup. \n7. Complete the Workgroup box same as the workgroup of computer or laptop. \n8. Click OK, reboot and enjoy \n:d

Yes, you need another router. It will the fastest and most efficient way to do this. There is software you could install that allows it to be done through one of the computers, but it is a nightmare and you would always have to have both machines on. With the prices of Internet Broadband routers these days, why even bother.\n\nI won't fill up this page with the "How-to", so please take a look here:\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037291160&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

You can connect two computers and setup a network using only a crossover ethernet cable, you do not need a hub. Usually, a crossover ethernet cable says "Cross-over" somewhere on the cable, but not always... you can always go out and buy one for a very inexpensive price (depending on the lenth of the cord)
