I can only think of two ways you can connect two computers if they don't have network cards: 1. Use a serial cable. All computers have serial ports, so this would be the easiest solution, though it will be a little slow. Look up directions online on how to do this. 2. If both computers have an IR (infra-red) port you can use that to connect the two. More input from FAQ Farmers: * or you can do it with a usb cable thingy, see it is like $5.00 and it works great if both have usb ports. by parallel cable by usb cable For newer macbooks hold down the t key to make it a drive then connect it to the desktop You can also buy ethernet / usb connectors. Pretty much its a wire with USB on one end and ethernet on the other. You just plug the USB side into your computer and now you have a ethernet port.
