networking 2 laptops using ME and 2000
hi there to all tech savvies!
i am trying to network 2 laptops using windows me and windows 2000 operating systems. both has nic card installed already and i am trying to connect them using a crossover patch cable.
my question is how do i make the two communicate with each other?
more power to you all...
crossover cable and not cross patch cable
you are right redthefed, what i meant was crossover cable instead of just cross patch cable.
and regarding your suggestion zigzag, my problems is that my laptop which is a compaq presario 14xl345 was designed to run windows me. i know i can install a different os but i just can't yet. i first need to back up some of the files first(and that's the reason why i want to network it to another laptop) because the hard drive needs to be replaced soon.
i know someone out there has the solution to my problem...and that's why i will wait some more. ;)
