How to network 2 PCs?
Got two PCs that i need to network to play world of warcraft side by side
Please could a someone tell a clueless nerd (myself) the parts i need to do this.
is it just a cable linking the two?
Cheers

2 * network cards, about 5/10 quid and a network crossover cable, about 3 quid. If you are on XP the set up is dead easy, just install the cards using the provided software and it should auto configure, you have got onto the web to get here so its no harder than that, plus you can google anything to get the answers.
You can do it via USB but I would imagine its slower and I have never done it, the best option is a wireless router and a couple of cards for future expansion, also wired routers are very cheap, in fact networking gear is buttons these days.
Ebay is where I get my stuff.
