setting up a network

[md]

I dont have an internt connection at home , i have two computers
and i want to set up a network

Is possible and what is the easiest way to start

Yeah, but it'd only be a network between the two PCs obviously... you wouldn't miraculously have internet access, but I'm assuming you knew that.

The easiest way is to just buy a crossover network cable and connect the two PCs with the cable. Put both PCs on the same network by assigning both a static IP address in the same network (ie: 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0).

Having both running on XP will help a lot as well. No need to assigne static IP's, just set it to obtain IP address automatically.
