Re: How to connect 2 computers

Re: How to connect 2 computers
The non-wireless ones are dirt cheep, and even the top-o-the-line 802.11G variants are only ~$80. You'll also need 2 networking cards (less any you already have or possibly a PCMCIA card for the laptop) which can be had for ~$10-20 each, wireless ~$40-50. Plus straight cables if you're not going wireless.

Re: How to connect 2 computers
You can even purchase a 4/8 port HUB/Switch which will not cost you much and try connecting the PC's to it with straight cable(Patch Cord). This will allow you to add more PC's if you want in future.
