I am getting a Laptop on Friday and it comes with a built in 10/100 Network card. What cables + hardware do i need to buy to network my PC (with currently no network capabilities) and the laptop??
Also, the system must be setup so i can share the internet between the laptop + PC.
Cheers

you need a 10/100 network card and either a crosover cable

or a hub/switch and 2x straight cables

would do the job nicely
U've been a great help mgh0, thanks a lot :)
no probs.
Internet connection sharing is a breeze under XP.
So why does this not want to be moved from GD then?
More views propbably :)
Im sure it'll be moved now the questions been answered ;)
indeed :)
You dont need a Hub/Switch at all. All you need is a 10/100Mb NIC for the PC and a crossover cable. No need to waste money.

unless he wishes at some point to add more devices
You can move it now guys, needed a quick answer thats all :)
I will not be at this stage adding further devices, so all i need basically is a crossover cable and a PCI NIC card?
Will this combo work....

Try using eBuyer, they have cards for like £1. Also, that cable doesn't state crossover, so make sure you get one that states that it is crossover.
mgh0: Yeah, but doing it this way loses no money as all the parts can be used when he goes bigger, but there is no point at the moment.

I have just ordered this:

Will these both work with what i am after? Ignore the price, i go with dabs because i like them and i am willing to pay that extra bit more knowing its gone through fine :)
Yup will work fine.
