1, u need a crossover cable to connect ur laptop and pc directly( no hub needed)
2, connect ur second NIC on ur PC to ur cable modem.
3. if the os of ur pc is not XP, then ur need a gateway/router proggie such as wingate/winrouter running on ur pc, otherwise, just share ur internet connection and enjoy.
raven, thank you,
i still have some questions:
1, where can i buy crossover cable and what is it?
2, why not use the first NIC to connect cable modem, what's the difference between these two NIC?
3,what i did is connect one NIC to cable modem,and it work,
connect another NIC to network card in notebook,
pc displayed "a network cable is unplugged".
what's wrong?
crossover cable is a kink of cable that connect two computers directly to each other,
Saving the cost of a hub when u want to interconnect two computer.
just go to some computer stores and tell them u need a crossover 5 class cable, they will give u a right one. use this calbe to connect pc and laptop.
