Solve : Crossover Cable ??

1.	Solve : Crossover Cable ??
Answer» Hi, I just like to know if i can network Windows XP Pro to Windows Home VIA crossover cable? WOULD i need a SWITCH? Thank you.If you have just 2 computers, a cross-over cable would do just fine. If there are more than 2 computers you will need a switch. Second point: you need to set up ips for your computers. If you have firewalls, you will need to specify rules for allowing trafic between computers. Well tufek1000 I suggest reading the Network FAQ written by Ch MEMBER Rob Pomeroy. Definitely a well written faq, and it will get your computers networked in no time. Thank you all for your advice, you have been a great help.
