Hello Lloyd,

 I would suggest that if you can afford it, to purchas a Link-sys router, instead of bothering with cross over cables.

By using a router instead of cross over cables you will have faster file transferring and both computers will have access to the internet.

I am not sure of the other routers, but a Link-sys wrt54g router is pretty easy to setup and will allow your local area network (LAN) to be expanded later when you out grow the two original computers.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] any special features for cross over cable


Hi

The subject tells it all. I recently noted an email in which the outline of connecting two PCs for net working with a cross over cable was discussed. the cable was simply called a UTP cable.

I presume such a cable has USB connections on each end. Are there some specifications I should know about to purchase an appropriate connector?

Any help would be appreciated.

The computers are an XP and a W7 and I am currently using Jaws 11.

Thanks,

Lloyd Fuge
