HI. you can do this with ethernet cable but you will have to statically assign ip addresses and such to both machines I think.

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you just want the two computers hooked together to transfer files or are you trying to connect them both to the internet?

Hi,

Just wondering if it is possible to connect 2 macs on a wired network directly with a cable. THe router is very far away from both to be close to the dsl plug on the wall. I thought that just connecting with a cable should do it since I did this with pc for migration assistent. If it is indeed possible, how do I make sure the connection works and is it slower than passing through a router?

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Ioana
