Peer to peer networking

depending on the amount of machines use a 8/12/24 port hub and cat5 cabling and connect using netbeui or tcp/ip using an address range of 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254 tcp/ip is better for troubleshooting

To answer your question correctly would require a book....... or a website. There are many good books out there and many good websites specializing in building a LAN.

The URL above should giveyou the basics and answer a lot of questions.

Hope this helps

Hi ,
answer 2 has right, you need a book to explain
if you are connecting only 2 PC's than you do not need a hub, just be aware that you need a crossover cat5 cable connection.
On "duxcw.com/digest/Howto/network/cable/cable5.htm"is described howto do it.
They also have info available on how to set up your little network, even internetsharing
good luck

Peer to Peer, using what kind of interface, a UTP cable with a NIC, a Lap Link Cable.....

If your going to used it in a game i will used a UTP with NIC. I connect it with the cross-cable using NIC with BOTH computer... and configure with TPC/IP..it work fast.....

Lap Link can work in DOS using FastLynX...So if you have no OS installed yet you can used a floopy drive to boot and execute the dos based program (fastlynx) configure the HOST and GUESE and you can back-up or access the file of the other resourcess...

Hi! I would very much like to answer your question. However, to give you a useful and targetted answer, please specify the details:
1) number of PCs
2) Operating system your using
3) Is this a home or business network

Also, it would be useful to know if you have already bought some networking hardware (i.e. cables, LAN or NIC cards, etc.)

Hope I can be of help to you in the future (that is after you've given me the necessary details). Nevertheless, the hyperlinks given by the previous answers in this post would be very useful. Ciao... ;-)
