Grim_Wizard Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Question, I have a net book and I have a tower. The netbook unfortunetly has Windows 7 starter and the desktop has windows XP serice pack 2. I'm wondering if I can use a LAN cable to connect to the netbook which is using a wireless connector from my Wife's computer, (you know the one I can't touch ) so I wanna connect via the internet with the net book on my desktop, how would on go about doing this?

billyfromhill Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 DO NOT connect the two computers with a LAN cable. You'll fry the ports because the wire won't be crossed properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_Wizard Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 What if I already did that? The ports are still intact. (Thanks for that important safety tip) Uhhh... so how would I do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
