If anyone could give me an idea on how to start this thing. i know the very little about it and its bothering me alot.

OK i have 2 Linksys's Network 10/100 Cards installed on a windows95 computer and a windows 98 computer. Now I know that you have to goto the network properties and insert an IP address and subnet mask but im not sure what to put in there.

What i want is to connect the two computers with the Cable going from one network card to the other. (i guess peer to peer)

But i dont know what to do from here. i'm not sure what ip addresses i need to use.

Im not going to share internet access. just want to share files and a printer.

If anyone out there could help out I'd really appreciate it. I'm new at this networking thing but i wnat to learn.

If you know about any websites out there that give you step by step instructions on how to do this i'd appreciate them also.

You can email me at ladus2000@hotmail.com

THanks a lot, I know that not many people will respond to his becasue its too much but to those who do I really thank you!

if you go nick to nick without a hub you gotta have a crossover cable, not just regular network cable, good store should have one
