Hello friend,


I read your massage, I known what your problem is.


1st step:  you have a cable his name is  TIA/EIA 568-B.2 CATEGORY 5e and RJ45 connector 

2nd step: 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.


3rd step :  install Ethernet hardware 

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)



4th step. 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 192.168.0.100Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 2nd Pc 192.168.0.200Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

 5th step:  dos command check connection  
 Ping ip address (other pc)
 Ex: ping 192.168.0.100
 They have checking connection
 And message report 
 6.click in network task Firwall setting change Off (not recommended) both system.
 7-check group are same in my computer properties "computer Name" Ex: "workgroup"
8. Then plug in cable to computer pc1 pc2.
Then message is display "network cable is plugging with 100mbps"
Then click "network placese" and click "view workgroup computer"


So I hope you are understand my simple language.

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

route add 192.168.0. mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 /p

you can use this command once you connect 2 computers using a ethernet cable with RJ45 jack

sir the best plan for you is the coming below
"switch 5 Ports+ADSL Router +Windows2003 server + ISA server2004+ + 2 NIC"
with those you have connected the 2pcs +internet
if you don't need the internet just bring Aswitch or Ahub"
if you don't want to install too many stuff and do alot of effort
Bring Alayer3 switch
which connects like aswitch + having the routing information
Or you can deploy the 2003 server +isa
your adsl router has the ip 10.0.0.1/8
both clients have 192.168.1.2/24 , 192.168.1.3/24
you have 2 NICs plugged on you software router "windows 2003 + ISA server"
one of them has 10.0.0.2/8 Note "gateway 10.0.0.1"
the other one has 192.168.1.1

One cable from Adsl router >>>>>Server
Clients cables >>>>>>> Switch
Other cable from the server >>>>>Switch

With the isa server Deployed you have nated your network Congrats



It make the nat service Automatic

You've ust to create arule to Allow all the trafic between both the Int+Ext

If you need any more help i'm at your service just conatct me by E-mail

Singh,what is that thing that doesn't work?
1-try the ping command and tell me what happened.
2-setup home or small network from "my network places" make both of two systems on the same work group
3-insert the systems ips with the same subnet,gateway and dns.
4-check your connection speed if it's 10 or 100 mbps.
if all this and still not working then install another Os on both of them
if not Contact me.

use ip address for host system as:10.0.0.1
press tab button for subnet mask.
default gateway:10.0.0.5 or 6 or7 as ur wish.
for 2nd system ip address:10.0.0.2

To CONNECT 2 computers EXPERTS say that a CROSS OVER cable is needed. BUT today we EXPERIMENTED and used a STRAIGHT CABLE to CONNECT 2 PC's, I dont know how it worked but the CABLE is WORKING fine.

Some ppl say now a days LAN CARDS are AUTO SENSING and they dont mind any type. So you ppl try and POST, I want to see how many ppl succeed in there attempt.

and for cable configuration.

2 Standards 568a & 568b

u can find the configuration from many places but for the ease I am writing it in th following.

4 pairs, 8 cables.

1. Orange White; 2. Orange; 3. Green White; 4. Blue; 5. Blue White; 6. Green; 7. Brown White; 8. Brown

The above config is for 568b, make the same on both sides and it will be a STRAIGHT CABLE.

1. Green White; 2. Green; 3. Orange White; 4. Blue; 5. Blue White; 6. Orange; 7. Brown White; 8. Brown

The above config is for 568a, make one side 568a & other 568b and you will have a CROSSOVER CABLE.

The cables used are 4.

1, 2, 3 & 6

Data came in at 1 goes out from 2, then again in at 3 and goes back from 6.

In crossover 1 = 3; 2=6; 3=1; 6=2

1= Oragne White; 3 = Green White; 2= Orange; 6 = Green

I hope I have written it very simply.

Have fun.

below for you.

1.	Kindly check your hub / switch first.
2.	Your error msg was destination host unrechable (ie) unable to connect reasons are may LAN cable, HUB problem. Check those things by typing cmd in RUN command then type ping 192.168.0.1 and ping 192.168.0.2 see both of the IP's are connecting or not?
3.     Important, check the LAN cables.
