Hi buddy!
For connecting two pc directly, crossover wires are used.

u know with 2days PC (ON board) and LAN Cards, I noticed that even with a Stright pair cable, one can connect 2 PC directly :lol:

using direct cable only for connected 2 pc's is not possible i hav tried it

Test Hardware...

1. On board LAN P5N-E SLi
2. On board LAN IBM ThinkPAD (using P4 Processfor)

I tried with Stright cable normally which would be used with HUB or Switch !!! but Did easily detected each other !!

Few frnd of mine In networking too Verified it that now days stright cable did working with 2 PC LAN !!

Me my self didnt tried with cheap (Rs. 250 to 500) LAN Cards though !!!
