Hi Guys,

Does someone knows how can I create a network for the purpose of playing multiplayer games with my desktop and laptop without using a router.

The issue is that I really don't wanna buy a router. All I've got to connect is a ADSL 2+ modem, RJ-45 jack (both ends) cords and USB (Both ends) cords. The desktop has got the LAN Card in it.

The desktop runs Windows XP SP2 and the laptop runs Windows Home Premium SP1.

Pls. feel free to ask any querries.

Cheers

Princey
