Windows XP Professional - network?

Hi all

I've created a Windows XP Pro machine. I want that this computer be a server to serve files, printer and Internet

At this moment, I will only connect one Windows 98 SE to this server
Can I connect them with 2 network cards? Or do I need a hub

I was trying to connect these 2 computers using 2 network cards, but the green light on network cards does not show
To do this, I've created a workgroup

If this is possible, what shoud I check to see where the problem is


Thanks a lot in advance

Best regards
Joaquim.

To connect them directly you'll need to use a crossover cable.
