Richard,

Thanks for the answer to my "connect 2 computers" question. I don't have a
crossover e-net cable, but I do have a router. Can I network these together
and get the same result? How? I hooked one up to the router (my other is
wireless), but can't seem to get them to recognize each other?
 
I just saw this message with no history, so i comment base on what i see
here.

Depends on your router. If your router has wireless and wire connections,
you can do it. If not, you are out of luck.

If the router can handle both, try connecting each computer to the router
first.

Hi

If both computers are plugged to the Router's regular ports (with regular
CAT5e) you can set the Windows Network Sharing and enjoy.

Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows Network
Settings, and Sharing. http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html

I see you've gotten several other good suggestions, so about all I can add
is try them out and see what happens - if you still have no joy you know
where to find us. :-)
