Any ideas how to put that one together? They've both got ethernet but that would be used to connect to the internet. We've also got a sky router and windows xp if that helps text/html 2005-09-22T19:35:14-05:00 Lawrence Heffernan http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/48880/#326797 i use my 4pin to 4pin firewire cable. 800mbps ain't bad (400 for those without 1394b) text/html 2005-09-22T19:20:19-05:00 Jimmy Tou http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/48880/#326790 hub suck, try using rounter. text/html 2005-09-16T05:10:27-05:00 Lawrence O. Wilson http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/48880/#324219 Ideal connection is to use a HUB, you can see both computers even if you are not on the internet.<br /> Too, if your printer has network capability, you can connect it to the HUB and both computers can see the printer. Connect from either your motherboard onboard internet card or purchase a network card and CAT 45 cable. Connect the HUB to your internet modem and both systems can see the internet. text/html 2005-09-14T16:55:18-05:00 Ivan Ivan http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/48880/#323556 Thanks guys.
