2 pc network links

[windoesnot]

hello all
does anyone know of any useful links or resources that would show a novice to networking how to network 2 windows 2000 pc's together using a hub and such facilities as file and print sharing.
cheers
Ian

If it's just two computers all you'd need is a crossover cable. No need for the hub. Look up file and print sharing in Windows help. Also search on some search engines for home network.

(as mentioned - only need a crossover cable for 2 machines. If you intend increasing size of network, invest in a switch or router (not a hub) - router if sharing a broadband internet connection).
