Hello

I have 2 pc's running win 2000 pro. i would like to peer to peer connect
these computers with a cat5 network cable and 2 NIC cards for printer file
sharing.

I am new to this and the OS as well.
Has any body performed this task.

regards

Allen
 
You will need a special type of ethernet cable called a
crossover cable... basically, some of the twisted pairs
are swapped so that the computers are sending and
receiving on the right pairs (other wise they both try to
send/receive on the same pair... no good for
connectivity :-) )

You will connect the two, put them in the same workgroup,
and you should be all set.
