Yep, each computer needs a network card (NIC) and connect them together (NIC to NIC) with one Cat5 crossover cable.

Yes, you can. You'll need a network interface (NIC) in each machine and a special network cable called a cross-over cable. Once you configure the networking, you'll be able to connect to each other and game.
This link describes how it is done. http://www.howstuffworks.com/home-network.htm Hope that helps. The Old Man |
