I have two computers, both with 10/100 network adapters, I wanted to know if its possible to link them together in there own LAN network by just connecting them together using an RJ45 cable. If so how would I go doing this? -p4 1700mhz/256 pc2100 DDR (COMPUTER1) -celeron 1700mhz/512 pc133 SDRAM (COMPUTER2)

Yes, it's possible, but you must use a RJ45 Crossover Cable. It must specifically say Crossover Cable or it will not work. As soon as they are connected enable sharing on both computers, then run the network setup wizard. -=Bryan=-
