How do you connect computers to each other?

Answer 1

If you are just wanting to hook them up together you can simply use a crossover cable to connect them up directly to the Ethernet ports. But if you want to allow them both to access the internet you need to get a router. There are plenty of articles in TechSpot describing them thoroughly. Have a look around.

Answer 2

buy a connector cable and find the slot on the back of the computer tower it fits in.if you have a laptop connect it to the back. then connect the other end to the 2nd computer.find connect on the start menu and wallah! instant connection.

Answer 3

Two individual computers can be connected through various methods to share information. The most simple way would be using an ethernet or firewire cable and browsing for network computers or drives. Another way would be to connect them using a router in a network.

Answer 4

In order to network more than one computer, you will need the following components:

• Two or more Computers(PC, MAC, Phablet, Tablet PC, iPAD, etc..)
• One or More Network Appliance (Router, Wireless Router, Switch, Access Point, or Hub)
• ***NOTE: If you are using a Wireless Network Appliance, you may skip the need of having Ethernet cables of the computers***
• Two or more Patch or Straight-Through Ethernet cables (Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6)

In order to connect the computers:

Step 1: Power on your Network appliance.

Step 2: Power on your computers.

Step 3: Plug both ethernet cables to the Router or Switch.

Step 4: Then take the unplugged end of the one ethernet cables into the network card of the computer. ***Repeat this step for the other computer with the other ethernet cable.***

Step 5: You may then configure your computers for either a static IP address or a dynamically assigned IP address. Also known as a DHCP address.

Thats it! Simple and easy!

Answer 5

The easiest way is through a broadband ethernet cable. These look like a telephone cable, but they are a little bit wider at the head. These will plug into the back of virtually all computers. A more common way is wirelessly. One computer will be attached to a router, which in turn sends wireless signals to another computer within a certain radius. The second computer, if equipped with a wireless adapter to receive that signal, will then obtain it and then be connected.

Answer 6

If you are connected to internet you are already connected to most of the computers in the world. If you want to connect computers at home so you could e.g. stream date between them it depends on the OS as well which operating systems you've got you can leave info on my profile and I'll try to improve the answer as well as I would need to know weather you have got wired or wireless connection on your computers.

Answer 7

Using Crossover cable we can interconnect two computers.

Answer 8

You connect two computers together by making them part of the same computer network e.g. LAN, WAN or the Internet. They can also be connected together using Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
