Networking
I have 2 Pentium II, 64 Ram each, one with windows 98 SE and other with
Windows Millenium. I want to connect both to each other. One with Millenium doesn't have networking card. Do I need some specific networking card and networking cable or aanyone will serve the purpose. If we use internet on both computer will the internet be slow per computer compared to one being used alone for internet? I can also use D-link wireless router for connecting both computers. How much is the range of router( what can be the maximum distance between computers being networked? thanks |

Do I need some specific networking card and networking cable or aanyone will serve the purpose. Networking cards and cables are standardized. Just make sure that the card that you get has drivers available for Windows ME. If you connect the computers directly to each other (without a hub, switch, or, or router), use a crossover Ethernet cable. A regular Ethernet cable won't work for a direct computer-to-computer connection. If we use internet on both computer will the internet be slow per computer compared to one being used alone for internet? If the computers share the Internet connection, they'll share the available bandwidth. You probably won't notice any slowdown unless they're both downloading large files for extended periods of time simultaneously. I can also use D-link wireless router for connecting both computers. How much is the range of router( what can be the maximum distance between computers being networked? thanks In my experience, wireless routers typically have a range of 50-75 feet. That can be reduced if the signal must pass through several walls and floors. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

'Just make sure that the networking card that you get has drivers available for Windows ME.' My question is 'Driver will be with the card or I will have to search for it on internet? |
