ask the vendor for a cross cable. my computer > my network places > view network connections > right click local area connection > properties > select internet protocol > properties > use the following ip add. > put ip adress 192.168.1.1 >click subnet mask > ok. for second system repeat all steps n put IP adress as 192.168.1.2
