Hello Everybody. One of my customer have 2 computers. And that 2 PC's have Lan Cards. But he does not have a hub. I want to connect that 3 PC's with Corss Cabling. I dont know how to do Cross Cabling (color codding). Please help me.
Thanks for your reply.
Or just go buy a crossover cable
AMD XP 2600+
SOYO Dragon 400
1 gig 3200 DDR
Phillips CD/RW
Pioneer DVD -/+ RW
2-60 gig HD in RAID, 1 60 gig backup
XP Pro
You'd have to buy three, actually. I wouldn't be suprised if it had problems software-wise, too.
Personally, I'd just get a cheap switch. It's $10-$15 U.S. for ones from some of the newer/less popular companies, and $20-$25 for ones from one of the brands known for good products (ie Netgear, D-Link, Linksys, Belkin). Cat 5 cables will be $5-$10 for the three of you.
That said, the previously-mentioned options should work and are cheaper.

Yes I would as well as I've come across too many onboard nic's lately that just don't like crossover patch cables being used.Originally Posted by Yawgm0th
On some routers/hubs/switches the first port must be used with a crossover cable. Just thought I would point that out as some customers have been coming in asking why the router/hub/switch wont work on port 1.

Seeing that you are using XP and to save me typing a lot of garble.
On the one that is connected to the internet.
Go to the control panel (in classic view) open network setup wizard.
Select you want to share your internet connection.
Then follow the wizard.
On the other computer
Go to the control panel (in classic view) open network setup wizard.
Select no you do not want to share the internet.
Select the second option then click next.
Remember to keep the network name different but keep the workgroup name the same.
Hope this helps
