I've recently bought a Vista system and would like to hook it up to my old
PC running 98SE. I'm not fussed about the old system having internet access
or anything too demanding other than being able to exchange files with the
new system. I'm a complete novice to this sort of set up but am usually
literate enough to bumble my way through to a solution on most things but
one aspect has me slightly confused. From what I can gather the most
efficient solution is to use a Ethernet crossover cable to connect the two
machines but my new machine has only one Ethernet socket currently occupied
by the connection to my router. Am I missing something obvious here or do I
need to get hold of a hub or similar?
Thanks
