    Hi,

    Can someone please verify if I have my facts straight here.
    Iwant to network 2 laptops so I can load the same game on both and play against my brother.

    Both laptops have network cards in them. Do I just need a crossover cable to network them together. We should be able to play against each other then right?

    Appreciate yuor response.

    D.

    Yup, cross over cable is all you need. In my expierence windowss never sets up the netowrk right, so set the ip of 1 to 192.168.0.10 and the other to 192.168.0.42 or whatever, and bobs your fathers brother. You might want to turn on file and print sharing also if you want to that.

    Alternatively, you can get a crossover adapter, and plug an existing network cable of your own in.
