How do I connect two computers using a cat5 crossover cable?

Posted by admin
BenMCF asked:


I have a gateway laptop and a dell computer which I wish to connect together for file sharing and gaming purposes. I have tried using a cat5 crossover cable with no success. I have no experience with home networking, so I need help from the ground up. A couple of problems I have encountered: when the cable is connected my laptop loses its wireless connection; the dell can see the gateway, but cannot access its shared files, however the gateway cannot see the dell at all. Any detailed help would be much appreciated
