Hi Andy,
O.K. Then I suggest you go for the router option for now.
Don't sling the crossover cable(s) in the bin just yet.
They can be very handy at times.
Step 1. Hook both systems up to the router, and establish
independent internet connection.=20
Meantime, let's know what make and model router you have.
George.

Hi George.
When I purchased the cables in Maplands in Glasgow, I was
told that I needed=20
two types so I bought both. One is a cross-over and the
other is a standard=20
cable. I believe the cross-over is from computer to
computer and the=20
standard goes via the Router option.
Best wishes.
Andy
