BigW:

While using a (local) router is chic, serial/parallel port solutions like
LapLink often involve less pain & risk.

Ludites like myself still use 'sneaker-net' ( aka zipdrive ) to transfer
data between M$ & *nix boxes.

Can someone help me to connect two computers to share data?
What do I need to install in each computer?

Thanks

If you are networking only 2 PCs together, you could use an unused EtherNet
port on each PC and connect them together using a "crossover" EtherNet
cable. You might have to add a network card in each PC to do this if there
is no spare port. Crossover cables are relatively cheap. Search the web for
information on how to do this.

You have myriad of choices:

Wired:
Network cards (NICs): 600KBps to 60MBps
USB network cable: 620KBps

Wireless:
USB Bluetooth adapters: 720KBps
WiFi cards in Ad-hoc mode: 500KBps to 2.5MBps

Second Computer: HP Pavilion (I believe on-Board LAN), OS Win XP.
Cable Modem with Linksys Router NR041 - 4 ports.

I would like my first computer as server and install another 140Gig hardrive.
Both computers' EtherNet (on-board LAN) have only one port and connected to
Linksys Router.

Can I install another EtherNet card to each computer??? By the way can the
computer have two EtherNet (One on-board and another install)?

I remember someone told me you could connect two computers together using "Null"
cable, if this "NULL" cable "crossover" cable?

Thanks

I believe both computers have NICs on-board.

Both computer have USB out ports, you mean I can just connect both computer
together with a USB cable? Nah, hard to believe,can you describe it in more
detail.

If you have network cards in both computers that is the best way to do it

get a crossover cable and run the home networking wizard you should be all
set it is pretty simple with the wizards it will even create a floppy for
computer#2 to talk to #1

I've seen other makes as well, however, Ethernet cards are far more
preferable from speed, stability and compatibility point of view. They've
been around for ages and their drivers are thoroughly developed.

You don't need any more hardware or cabling, your physical network is
already complete.

You only need to configure Win98SE and WinXP to enable file sharing. Don't
use the NetBUI protocol, TCP/IP is all you will need and it will already be
installed.

Use your preferred internet search engine and search for info on how to set
up a peer to peer network using Windows 98 and Windows XP.
