Hello friend,
I read your massage, I known what's you have problem.
About me: -
Name - jitendra Kumar Sharma
From - India (Bihar) muzaffarpur
I am student of BCA 5 SEM.
Ok
Your question is how to connect 2 system using LAN?
Ands is: -
1 step: - you have a cable his name is
TIA/EIA 568-B.2 CATEGORY 5e
And RJ45 connector
2step: - make a cross cable

1st point 2nd point of cable wires
1--------3
2--------6
3--------1
4--------4
5--------5
6--------2
7--------7
8--------8
Cable each wires setting.
3 steps: your computer have install Ethernet hardware
How to
Right click "my computer"
Move mouse "computer properties"
Click "hardware" tab menu
Click "Device Manager"
Device manager window is open
Check network adapter
"PCI Fast Ethernet NIC" is work or not?
If NIC device is work then do next work
Else Nick device have cross simple then double click NIC device.
And "Enable Device"
Device usage: use this device (enable)


End work
next
4 steps. Create a ip address to both system are not same (My network places)
Click: - "view network connections" in network tasks
Right click: - local area connection
Ex: Realtek RTL8139 family PCI
Click: properties
Click 'this connection uses the following item:'
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) click "properties"
Use the following IP address
Ex: -
1st PC 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
2nd Pc 192.168.0.200
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Click "ok" "ok"
4 steps: dos command check connection
Ping ip address (other pc)
Ex: ping 192.168.0.100
They have checking connection
And massage report
5.click in network task Firwall setting change
Off (not recommended) both system.
6-check group are same in my computer properties "computer Name"
Ex: "workgroup"
7. Then plug in cable to computer pc1 pc2.
Then massage is display "network cable is plugging with 100mbps"
Then click "network placese" and click "view workgroup computer"


Note:
Windows Xp any new
1.568 cable is make in cross 1---3,2----6,3----1,6-----2
2.same work group name
3.if you have problem to generate to ip address so this is not important to computer because automatically assign ip address
4.if Ethernet is not work/ not install
You have installed it with "main board" cd
Insert cd in cd Rom click "my computer" "properties" "hardware" "device manager"
Right click NIC device and choose update device click next to fowling instruction.
5.firwall setting, anti viruse firewall setting.
6. Ms dos command ping is must be using.
Ping command using in dos
If massage is Request timed out.
So you have a cable problem.
Of work group problem.




So I hope you are understand my simple language.

To connect 2 PC's using LAN you need a crossover wire and change the "workgroup" and the computer's IP..
it could be a bit hard.. try to find a tutorial in the web..

Its easy first make sure you have loaded the correct drivers for the network cards.Then from configure your computers putting them in the same workgroup.This can be done by clicking computer properties.computer name then change the workgroup .After that configure the ip adress eg put computer one to ip 192.168.0.1 subnet mask 255.255.0.0.After this share your files.You will notice that you are connected.

Do u want 2 be sharing files&document btw d 2 pc without internet or u want d 2 pc to be on internet? if its sharing ur documents,file&printer without internet btw d 2pc then u must get a cross-cable. But if u want d 2 pc on internet then u hv to configure router so tht it serve as ur gateway, by setting ip given by ur ISP as ur default gateway&create and ip for d 2 pc. for example
COMPUTER 1
IP 192.168.1.2
SUBNET-MASK 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY 192.168.1.1


COMPUTER 2
IP 192.168.1.1
SUBNET-MASK 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY 192.168.1.1

I hope its clear enough

you can use this command once you connect 2 computers using a ethernet cable with RJ45 jack

To connect your pcs you will need:
wired mode
1) patch cord network cable or USB/Firewire bridge cable
2) your PCs must have the same WORKGROUP name in Network->Identification tab and must have some files shared, if you want to browse each PCs files and folders
3) turn off or make exceptions for local network in your windows firewall software
