This tutorial will show you How to connect two PCs by LAN (Ethernet). There are many ways to connect two PCs, but connecting them together by LAN is the easiest and most cost effective way. Plus, you can use this method for any number of PCs.
What you need:
1. 2 PCs with Ethernet Cards or Onboard Ethernet
Most new motherboards come with onboard Ethernet, you can check this out in My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Adapter.
2. A Crossover Ethernet cable.
The normal Ethernet cables won’t work, you must have a cross crimped Ethernet cable which can be used to transmit data in both directions.
3. A Ethernet Hub
A Ethernet hub is needed if you plan to connect more than two PCs. If you want to connect just two PCs, you can do it directly without a hub.
