I am going to be setting up a network for a church on an extremely slim budget with two old pc’s. They are running Windows 95 (first release) and the computers are running a Pentium 75 cpu. Old stuff. I am looking at adding an NIC card to each and then running the cable between the two cards to link them. I have a network at home using a wireless router and my home computers are Windows 98 so I have done some work with setting up a network. I just haven’t done an ad-hoc network. Is it possible to set this up as a wired network like this? I figure with the cost being a big factor, if I can avoid a hub that will save some money for them. Is there anything special I need to do with Windows 95 to make this happen? Do I need some additional software to manage this? Also, would it be possible to later on add a third computer to this ad-hoc network?
