You cannot make a PC act like a hub; the PC is too slow w.r.t.> one into a hub i have searched the microsoft knowledge base and the results > were less then helpful.

To form a LAN between two PCs using Ethernet, assuming both PCs have NICs, just connect the NICs via one of: - a crossover cable - a patch cable, a hub, and another patch cable - a patch cable, a switch, and another patch cable - a patch cable, a router/switch, and another patch cable With the hub or switch or router, connect the patch cables to LAN ports on the hub or switch or router. -- Cheers, Bob On Sat, 4 Nov 2006 18:58:01 -0800, Alastair wrote:

If you want to connect two computers (and ONLY two computers) with RJ-45 10/100 BT, and you don't have a hardware hub or switch, you need a crossover cable. You can Google for info on this, and they can be purchased and most computer stores. If you actually have "for" (four?) RJ-45 sockets in a single machine, you'll need to figure out how to disable 3 of these, if indeed they are separate NIC's, and use only one. But why not just go ahead and purchase a 10/100 switch? They're so cheap they're practically giving them away... V Green wrote:

OP: To connect 2 machines, put a crossover cable from one to the other ethernet ports. That's all you need to do. HTH Pop On Sun, 5 Nov 2006 08:44:49 -0700, V Green wrote:

But thanks for providing the same answer. It really cleared things up. THANKYOU

Get a router or switch, and get it done, the regular way. You'll need regular ethernet cable, and a dirt cheaper router or switch. Since 99.9% of lans are done this way, more people knowledgable can help. You have to figure what time is worth to you. Hours researching the Microsoft knowledgebase, or go on ebay where someone is selling a wired Linksys router for $5.00 plus $7.95 shipping this morning. Has 16 minutes to go when I looked though.
