| Don't you think that you have given a very expensive setup to Rajat. I think what he was looking was a simple LAN setup at home without any routers and switches being involved in it. Do you have any other or rather a little expensive way of putting two computers on Lan. I guess he only has BSNL connected on one comouter and would wana use the same internet connection on his second computer as well. |

| your right Sandra, i would prefer connecting the two with a cross over cable and then accessing the interent from one computer and use the other one for storing data. |

| let me remid you the setup given is the best, if you are going to go for cross over cable.. then u got be using Ineternet Connection Sharing which is not the best way.. you have to keep the connected host always on and for some reason if it goes down, the other cant access.. so get a router as you wud, but an additional hub/switch (that the only expense + cables) doesnt look that expensive to me at all |

| If you use a Netgear DG632 modem/router, this becomes really simple. The DG632 is basically a router-modem combination and can be used in either mode. It can also be connected through a USB or an Ethernet connection. I've connected my desktop through the USB and then connected another computer through the regular LAN cable. Voila! I have a wired home network in which both my computers can now use the Internet and as well have a peer-to-peer sharing! |

b) Your computers must be part of workgroup (or domain) c) After you have added the computers to a workgroup, you can enable folder sharing and then you will be able to copy files across computers.
