Hiya Rod,
On 18-02-98, whilst lying in the gutter of the information super highway, I
heard Rod Jones whispering to All about LAN Card,
RJ> this situation. I want a LAN card that can be used without buying a
RJ> hub device or something just connect both using a cable, is it
RJ> possible? and can this setup be possible using Win95?
It's a doddle. Buy 2 3Com 3c509b TPO cards and a cross-over UTP. Boot the
machines one at a time and 95 will ask for the disk and install netbeui. You
might want to install TCP/IP as well (or instead), but as long as you pick
different names for each machine you should be fine.
You might want to obtain TweakUI as well so that the machines will log
themselves onto the network at boot up in case of crashes.
