Hi,

Can I connect two PCs using a Cat 5 wire directly without using a hub. Can you tell me why if the answer is no?

Thanks

Chris

Yes but you must use a crossover cable not a straight through.

Please don't post in HTML in these groups, they're for text messages. ;-)

We do it all the time. But it has to be a cross over cable.
