Whoa whoa ... for testing out sigs and stuff theres http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/82901

You should be able to share the Internet Connection without getting a Router. Im not 100% sure, but as far as I know you can. So all you have to do is network the computers together, Share the internet and then it should work.
You can do this however from personaly experience I wouldn't reccomend it -- it's a real pain in the arse to do stuff like port forwarding etc with that kinda configuration. You do need however on the computer that is going to be doing the sharing 1+n number of network cards where n is the number of computers you are going to be sharing internet with ... therefore, this becomes ineffective after two or three computers

i have tried sharing a connection using a cross over connection, but one of the computers has a lot more bandwidth than the computer directly connected to the internet

If you are using a single computer with network sharing I dont think you have to use a crossover cable

That's a good thing --- this means that your home LAN wont be bottlenecking your internet line :)

when you quoted: 'If you are using a single computer with network sharing I dont think you have to use a crossover cable' i ment i was connecting one computer into the other one which had the internet.
EG:
PC without ---------> PC with connection

That was what I was referring to... you dont need to use a crossover cable (you might be ABLE to) but you dont have to (its prolly cheaper not to)

Yes but I was just suggesting that a cross over cable isnt required at all (sure you can use it if you want to but if its not required, you might as well save yourself some money and/or effort doing so hehe)

Yes but thats why i said "save yourself some money and/or effort doing so" -- if it aint broke there are things:
A. It doesnt have enough functionality
B. Dont break it.
Why would you want to buy a RJ45 and convert it when you dont have to? Sure practise is good but the objective is get the internet sharing to work, not practise cable conversion hehe. :)

What I meant before was that you kept insisting that you can make your own crossover cables etc but I was just saying that, sure, you can make them -- you just dont have to.
As for wired vs wireless .... that depends on your use .. for file xfers definitely wired but if you have a laptop then wireless might be for you.

I've never heard of a NIC that could do a direct connection to another NIC without using a crossover cable. I'd love to have one, but unless I'm mistaken there isn't such a thing. If you use a regular cable then you'll be connecting transmit wires together and receive wires together so PC 1 will transmit to the wrong connection on PC2 and vice versa.

Ya I know what you mean but I've personally shared a DSL line with 2 other computers using plain old rj45s (cuz im too poor to have the crossover .... wait now that i think about it ... it was also a switch involved too...)

Okay, that makes more sense. You had me confused there for a while - and I don't need any help with that thank you. I'm confused enough without any help.

to link 2 PCs together (nic-nic) you need a crossover cable, unless you have a good card, generally gigabit NICs have this function that can detect cable type and switch it.
you can use a switch/hub to link 2 together by using straight patch cables, as for the price of a crossover cable its not that much more than a normal cable and they are very simple to make.

EYEshurt, your mobo should have come with a plate that snaps into the back of the computer where the mobo connections stick out. You snap out the old one, put in the new one, and there you are.
If it doesn't have a new plate, first see if there are any knockouts on the existing plate, that would match the connections on the new mobo. If not, contact the manufacturer of the motherboard, and see if you can get a plate from them.
Life is good!
