Hi this is a really dumb question, but...
I want to do ICS w/ my desktop and laptop. I put in a 2nd NIC in the desktop, my question is: Do I need a crossover cable to hook up the desktop and laptop NIC's together or a straight-through cable?

Thanks!!!
 
yez you need it. to do this just simply change colour code : this is the original colour code for the calbe : white-green,green,white-orange,blue,white-blue,orange,white-brown,brown. and the other site of the cable you have to use this color code : white-orange,orange,white-green,white-blue,blue,green,brown,white-brown.

remember you keep both the connectors the same way!

greetz,
 
ack, just go buy one at a local cable supplier for like $5 or so.. pretty cheap anyhow..

heres one thats alittle bigger/clearer - i shrunk that other one so it would load faster for you slow connect guys
 
this is what I did...

I have a computer that is running windows 2k server (witch is my server) and one that running windows XP pro... I have my server set up as a DNS, DHCP, NAT, Router... I'm using a cross over cable... don't much like the ICS... but thats just me :D

Theres really no point in my story, I had a little to much to drink.. heheheh :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
