Hi.
Computer Question:
Two laptops. Each with a network card. Can I connect them together using a normal Cat5 patch cable? I know I can do it with a crossover cable, but this is a temporary measure, so it doesn't really warrant going out and buying any more bits...
The two laptops are currently connected to a large network (accross the whole building), which connects them to a high speed internet connection. Could they (as an alternative) connect through this (i.e. accross the internet)?
They could connect through the large network, but then everyone on the network would be able to access the conents of the laptops, which would not be good.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tim
