Get a cat 5 cross over cable and save your self all those £'s or $'s.
Sure you have a cable running from one pc to the other but you dont have any security issues that wireless has.

Ok just ignore me then. routers are a piece of wee to setup, wireless will be fun but also without the correct installation will mean your network is open to the public. Single cable means there will be no chance of any security issues plus you dont have to setup default gateways and subnet masks. But what do i know ? 12 years in the buisness and 2 Microsoft Qualifcations later |
