D Dusty Harper {MS} Aug 27, 2003 #2 You need a cross over cable. This cable connects the transmit wires to the receive wires on the opposite end. and vice versa. Both NICs then need a network protocol to run. ( i.e.TCP/IP ) Then a unique logical address needs to be given to each NIC which places them in the same LAN segment. ( i.e. IP Address )
