You need to configure a static IP address on both items to enable them to talk to each other. I.E. set the PC to 192.168.1.2 and the printer to 192.168.1.3 Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. The gateway can be set to 192.168.1.1 although this setting is not needed for a crossover cable. The Problem is that I don't have the printer cable and the only way to attach the printer is via an ethernet crossover cable. the printer is from an office and was networked previously. I did a configuration print out of the printer and I set up the IP address already given to the printer on the printout. I gave my laptop the same IP address and subnet as the print out and set up a network using the network wizard but I still cannot see or access the printer.

What application uses a crossover cable?
Usually older Ethernet switches needed to be connected using a crossover cable. Now, most modern switches have auto-crossover feature that lets you use a straight Ethernet cable. You could also connect two computers using a crossover cable, but like with switches, most Ethernet interfaces on computers also support auto-crossover.
What cable would you use to connect two computers together using their NIC?
CROSSOVER Im in CET too ;)
How do you connect two pc's using lan?
Either use a crossover cable or connect them using a hub, switch, or router.
How you connect laptop with PC?
If you are using a crossover cable, simply assign static IP's to each machine (192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3). If using regular network cable, you will need to use a network switch or hub to connect them together, still using the static IP's for each machine.
What Cable do you use to connect PC to PC?
You would need what is called a crossover cable. It is basically an ethernet cable with 2 of the wires swapped on one end. This swapping is usually done inside a switch but has to be physically done on the cable if you are trying to connect direct. You also have the option of using special USB cables to connect computers directly.
How do you connect two computers without using LAN ports?
Get a USB Direct Connect Cable, it is a USB cable that has a special crossover and more to it. This makes the USB cable act like an old NULL Modem cable from the early days. You then plug it into the USB ports on each computer install the software drivers and then set up file sharing and whatever else it has you do to make it network and your good to go.Do Not use a regular USB cable, you will fry things...
What is the type of network called that connects two computers directly together using a cross-over network cable?
If both PCs have ethernet cards, the best cable to use would be a crossover cable. A crossover cable is almost the same thing as a regular ethernet cable, except the wires inside the connector are reversed on one end. This reversing of the wires allows you to connect a crossover cable between two PCs without any other network equipment like a switch or a hub.
Can you connect two computers to one monitor without using a switch?
I believe that it is possible to connect to computers to one monitor. I have worked with brand new LCD monitors with two inputs - one DVI and one VGA. The monitor auto-senses which port is being used. So in theory, use the auto detect button on the front of the LCD panel to switch between computers.
How do you connect two computer to play game?
You can use wireless network cards to connect two computers to the same network so you can play computer games. Another way to connect two computers is to use a crossover cable between them using the Ethernet ports so they see each other and assign an IP address.
If you were going to connect two pcs together in a simple network using the network ports on each PC what type of cable would you use?
Crossover Cable
If you were going to connect 2 pcs together in a simple network using the network ports on each PC what type of cable would you use?
a Crossover Cable.
What cord is needed to hook 2 computers?
If you are asking what kind of cable you need in order to directly connect two PCs using the ethernet ports, then you want what is called a crossover cable (NOT a lan cable). Go to Best Buy or a similar electronics store and tell them that, and they'll know what to give you.
