Your wisest solution would be to get a little 4-port switch. This has four or five RJ45 connectors on it, you just plug anything you want to be on your network into a hole and they can talk automagically. With such a switch, you use normal CAT5 / RJ45 cabling. To hook two - and you can only directly do two this way - network cards directly you use a Crossover cable. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....
