Gobalopper Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Yes and Sorta. You could hookup your computers by just running a cable between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 could you tell me where to buy cables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Depends on where you live. Most electronic stores should have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 is www.krex.com a good place to shop? ive gotten good deals there. i think you click on networking under the bold cables title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 You could do with an cross connect cable. Make sure both network cards have UTP connections (rather then BNC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aox0m0xoa Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 actually its rj-45, utp is the type of wire, and bnc is for coax, i doubt hed have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 RJ-45 is okay. If you just want to play LAN games, you can do without router. If you'd wish to connect to the internet with both PC's, you'd need a router (if your ISP allows only one pc on the internet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
