You need a special "crossover" LAN cable - standard LAN (CAT-5) cables are made to plug-in to a router.

After making LAN connection.
Go in network connection which is in control panel.
Then select my network places.
Click on view workgroup computers.
You will get two Names of PCs which are connected in LAN.
For sharing any drive just right click on that drive go in sharing and security.
Select the option share this folder on the network.
So your whole drive will be shared by this procedure.

1) Plug-in your cable to both PCs
2) startup 1st pc's AoE as host and ONLY THEN startup 2nd pc as client

DONT DO ANY IP CHANGES!!! Windows automatically assigns you addresses of homespace that start with 169.x.x.x

My name is not familiar.so i'm having a problem actually i don't classify it as a massive constraint.So my point of interest is I want to know if windows can share files or printers without connecting to the lan.the reason im arising this point is I heard some guys discussing this issue so please put me in the picture.I dont have a problem with my mandriva linux and suse linux interprise.
