AboutMichael Troy Expertise I have a fair amount of experience in peer-to-peer networking using Windows 95/98. I can answer questions about hardware, networking software, protocol settings, etc. I have some client-server experience, but not a lot with Windows-based servers. I can also give some advice on home network security: VPN, firewalls, anti-virus, etc.
Experience I am the Director of Information Systems for a large law firm which connects about 300 users over five offices via a wide area network. We use client-server, peer-to-peer, WINS, remote access, VPN, DSL Internet, and proxy servers.
I also have a peer-to-peer network of six computers at home, with file and print sharing, remote access, and shared Internet access with a firewall.
Question hi, i want 2 pc's connect with crossover connection without any hub,switch or router.i mean direct cable.what the sequence wire i punched in the RJ45 connector eg.(orange,whiteorange,blue,whiteblue ....) which sequence is correct please tell me about that,i hope u understand my question. thanks
Answer The colors are irrelevant. The key is that the wires be used in the correct order.
You use numbers 1, 2, 3, and 6 to connect.
The following are the wire connections to the pins:
1-3
2-6
3-1
6-2
In other words, the wire that connects to pin 1 on one end, connects to pin 3 on the other end, and so on.
