Connecting two computers using cross over cables

A-Train · Post by **A-Train** » October 5th, 2005, 5:46 am

I have one computer using windows XP and one computer using Windows ME. I have a Ethernet crossover cable connecting them. The computer using windows ME did not have an Ethernet port, so I installed a 10/100Mbs Fast Ethernet PCI card and installed it using the disk provided. The device manager recognizes this card as a modem and calls it a 'PCI Modem Enumerator'. I want to set a connection so that I can play games between the two computers. Could you please if Posible give a full description of how to complete this process. <-- I have doubts whether the PCI disk installed properly and maybe the driver is wrong.

http://www.felgall.com/netint5.htm that will tell you how to network with 2 different operating systems. trying to netowkr ME and Xp is not easy, they dont like eachother. by the way. NIC cards dont need drivers, you just stick em in and they work.
