other connected to a m8's machine via xover for leeching @100 mbit

it didnt work

Machines have XP pro and 2k pro

i did notice when i have the xover cable connected it stopped me from seeing the lan game servers

is there a simple way this can be done or does it involve some hub/switch/routing ?

thanks

it should be a matter of setting up a software network bridge on the win2k machine(forget xp)
then let both networks see each other,on differant sub-nets.
saying that it *should*work with minimal work and tweaks

Yup, that's right. Basicly you need em on differet subnets. If not, windows get's a bit confused as to which card to use.
