Internetworking TWO VISTA PCS...

[paragkalra]

Hi friends I have two PCs...both having VISTA installed...kindly share some tips to put them in LAN so that I can share my data across them...and share the internet....

its very simple , just plug the cross-over cable in both PC's (in case of two pcs)

and then right click on the Network icon near CLOCK in taskbar and click on the last option of opening the networking control panel or (something like that)

then click on new netwrok.. and enable network discovery... do it in both PC's and then click on connect to ... and you are done... *vista self_configures all the things...
