How do i connect two pc together - Dell Dimension 8300 PC Desktop

Did it come with an extra sideboard that connects the end sides together after you take one side off? The mattress spring or board should be sufficient to hold the end sides together but some come with a toddler bed side rail.

Your question is garbled but I'll try to explain some of it.

Your ethernet LAN jack on your computer is probably 100mbps and the ethernet LAN jack on the modem is also 100mbps, connect them together and it will tell you that it is connected at 100mbps because they are both working at the same speed.

As for the other connections, you are mixing usb and ethernet up so much that I can not tell from what you are connecting together.

If you pulled it apart and put it back together but now it won't work properly, try checking your IDE cables to the hard drive/cd-rom, make sure they aren't connected backwards. Otherwise just carefully look over the entire board, be sure that the processor, heat sink and fan assembly are all intact and connected properly, do the same with the RAM, power connection, any expansion cards.

ok, i think what you mean is this.  Crossover cable is for connecting 2 computers together without the need for a router.  also called pc-to-pc.  Straight cables need the use of a router or hub to connect 2 computers together.  Hope this helps, if not let me know more info.

To share the induvidual internet connection with other pc s you need the following:
1. The pc which owns the internet it need an ethernet connection too.
2. The other pc's which dont have internet connection it needs
ethernet connection too.
3. You need an equipment which connects the internet pc and
other pcs. It called Ethernet switch.

Linksys company has a good product, which can connect 4 pc together, called linksys Wrtg54gl. It not only a small switch
it also has the capability to connect wifi devices.
Buy this router connect the pc-s to thos router with ethernet switch. You need to set up ip addresses for the pc-s.
The whole procedure is well written in the Linksys admin manual.
I hope it helps.

Here is the router manual:

If you dont need the wifi router (you dont need wireless connection buy this model:
Linksys BEFSR41

If you need to connect more than 4 pc it requires a new solution.
If all pc are connected with ethernet together, you need another solution.



If you has a problem with this write to the forum, i will respond you.

If you are asking about connecting two computers together with a hub or switch, plug them into the switch/hub with standard patch cables (cat 5e or cat 6).

If you are asking about connecting two computers together directly using a LAN cable, then you will need a "Crossover" cable (cat 5e) wired specially (oranges transposed at one end for the common -B pattern) for direct LAN connection.

If you want to access the internet with two computer, the easiest thing to do is to get a broadband router where the two computer will be connected so they can access the internet at the same time, you can get a Linksys router like this model BEFSR41 or a wireless router so you dont need a cable connected to your computer the model is WRT54G...

Hope that helps..........

you can connect to any XP pc to a Vista pc, using adhoc (joining two together via ethernet cable to share files and internet connection) or via a router.

Hi,

Technically, yes. Both computers should have an Ethernet port (LAN), a crossover networking cable, peer to peer networking using static IP add, and Internet Connection Sharing on the PC with the Wireless Internet Connection. If by chance the PC with the Internet access is already using its Ethernet port, a second NIC could be installed.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
