Setting up the simplest of Networks?
Hey all,
Firstly, when it comes to Networks, I am an absolute category III, 100% unqualified and uneducated newbie ! :roll::D
I have always seen the potential of setting up a very simple network between 2 x PCs but I have avoided it like the plague as any help I have tried to get from the 'net always assumes this is for shared internet use, rather than file sharing and more straightforward connection of the PCs.
I even bought a Crossover Cable but have not yet known where to start with trying to set up a simple network.
A couple of questions that I hope you may be able to help me with:-
- Is anyone able to give some really basic, straightforward pointers in the first steps of connecting 2 PCs that both have network cards built in (I think!), using a crossover cable ?
- As an alternative, does WIDEFS provide any help / instructions in setting up a basic network ?
All I want to achieve from the 2 networked PCs is using one for the FS 'exterior view' and the other for all other aspects (panel gauges, etc).
Thank you to anyone who helps me get to 1st base !! :D
