This chapter provides a quick description of a crossover cable and a crossover cable network. Topics include crossover cable description, configuring crossover cable network, transfer files with FTP commands, assigning host names, sharing file with Windows Explorer.
Crossover cable can connect two computers together without using any other network devices.
Private network settings use static IP addresses in the format of 192.168.*.*.
MS firewall, Norton Internet blocking and other similar settings should be turned off, because
computers are not connected to the public Internet, and those programs may interfering the networking
tests.
