actually, we can connect two PCs using straight cable. you can use patch panel (which works as adapter for straight to cross-over cable) or you can use LAN card that supports auto MDIX technology (invented by Hewlett Packard). With auto MDIX any straight cable will work just like any cross-over. further information about auto MDIX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-MDIX

∙ 12y agoYou can connect physically using cat5 cable. If you cannot achieve communication, make sure your computer is set to "obtain address automatically" and router is set to "dhcp" also. Your subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 and your local addresses should be in the range of 192.168.1.X (the x is range of 2-255).
