Installing the Desktop PCI Card Drivers
NOTE:
A standard Belkin network cable cannot be used
to directly connect two computers. A specially
wired cable called a crossover cable is needed
to allow you to connect two computers without
the use of a network hub or switch. Belkin
crossover cables are yellow (Belkin part number
A3X126-XX-YLW-M).
Make sure you have
the following:
