A brief overview:<br><br>Parts you need - network cards, connection device (hub), cables, software drivers<br><br>Steps - <br>install network cards<br><br>If Widows does not autodetect the cards go to the &quot;Network&quot; control panel and add the Microsoft client for Microsoft networks, the adapter (might have to use &quot;Have Disk&quot; option for network card driver load) and add the Microsoft NetBEUI protocol.&nbsp;&nbsp;Click on the &quot;File and Print Sharing&quot; button and check which options you want there.<br><br>You will have to fill in the fields in the Identification tab, giving a unique name to each computer, but the same workgroup.<br><br>Reboot<br><br>a login window will come up upon reboot.&nbsp;&nbsp;Make someting up for both id and password<br><br>Right click on a drive or folder in the My computer window and enable sharing<br><br>login on another computer and try to access the first from Network Neighborhood.<br><br>If you cannot see the first computer try the &quot;Find Computer . . .&quot; from the start menu<br><br>This is a general overview, but I think in the right order.
