I haven't set up a network for myself yet but my basic understanding for a two machine network is to simply install an inexpensive PCI 10/100 nic in each machine and use a crossover cable between the two cards. I don't believe a switch or hub is necessary. RetireSoon posted a great list of networking links Message 12012209. You should be able to find specific instructions for a basic crossover network somewhere in those links as this is a very common installation. I would gladly provide this to you if I had already done it myself. But i don't think there is much more to it. As already mentioned upgrading to NT would also be a good idea ie resource allocation and network configuration wise, not to mention the added system stability. Although you may want to wait til Feb for Win2k. Clarence
