Yes.
Use a cross-over cable. Chris "richard" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:016f01c377c6$b6be9880$(E-Mail Removed)... > Is there any way to connect 2 computers using cat 5 > cabling ? Id like to connect 2 computers with the cables, > network cards and no hub. Is this possible?

Re: category 5 cables
You could use a crossover cable these can be purchased or made (diagrams can
be found on the web) but a hub would be better, I've seen them for not much over £10 and a switch would be even better if you end up with more machines (although slightly more expensive). HTH Pete.
