Err.... OS?

But yeah, this should work. I've done it with two macs w/ a normal ethernet cable, and the way to do it isssss.....

Comp 1:

ip: 192.168.1.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0 (doesn't matter really just make it the same on both)
default gateway / router: blank

comp 2:

ip: 192.168.1.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
default gateway / router: 192.168.1.1

see? the first computer is the "router" for the 2nd. good luck!

edit: the ip addy doesn't matter, just make comp 1s ip the same as comp 2s router / gateway, and keep them on the same number, just change the last digit.
