Crossover cabling

Well, it depends on your Operative System and what do you want to do with it and from where your want to access your workstation.
First, if you have NIC in both laptop + workstation and you have Windows 98 SE or Windows ME, or Windows 2000 installed on both, you could simply use TCP/IP and that's it, NetBeui won't arm your systemt; remember to share the resources you want to use on both computers (folders, printer, etc). All this will work if you're trying to connect both computers locally. (if you don't have a Hub you'll need to connect it using Cross link cables)
If you need more info please e-mail me back.

Good luck,

netbeui is the easyest protocol to use you goto control panel and click on the network icon then click the add button and select protocol then select microsoft and scroll down to netbeui. you also might want to add file and printer shareing for microsoft networks. you do that by doing the same first three steps for adding a protocal only instead of clickin protocol on the fourth step you click on service and select microsoft then select file and printer shareing for microsoft networks. you share out drives/folders by right clicking the folder or drive and goto sharing and select the share this drive as box and give it a name. you can then use network neighborhood to brows the contents of the shared folder.
