networking two computer

[Guest]

Hello

I have person who has deskstop and a laptop. He wants to network the two of
then with out a router or hub. the desktop has two network cards: one for the
internet and the other one for the laptop. I was on the Knowledge base for
microsoft before where they gave you some general settings that sure work. I
remember the IP address begining with a 10.x.x.x for the laptop and the
network card in the desktop that is use to connect the laptop. If anyone
remembers this article or has the setings email me at (e-mail address removed)
or post the info or link here.

Thanks

Hi

Since you mentioned two NICs I assume that the person is using Broadband
Internet connection.

1.. Plug one NIC to the Internet Modem, and make sure that the computer is
capable to access the Internet.
2.. Connect the Laptop with Crossover CAT5e to the second NIC on the
Internet capable computer.Configure a Network between the two computers.
3.. Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows
Network Settings, and Sharing: http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html] Windows

4.. Configure Windows ICS for Internet Sharing:

Hi
What you do with Wireless do it first with the two computers close one to
the other to make sure that there is a stable Wireless connection.
This might help with Sharing: http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
If you need to reconfigure the Wireless.
