i need to setup a wired network for a client real soon. he has a laptop and a desktop, both have built in LAN 10/100 ports. he doesnt have an internet connection [says he uses a T1 connection in the office, saves a lot of cash ]. what he wants is a simple wired [strictly] network that can be used for transferring files between the laptop and PC and for playing network games. he has all the equipment [LAN cable etc. etc.]. his PC is runnin Windows 2000 Professional and his laptop has windows XP which is why i cudnt help him myself cuz i have never never successfully created a network between these 2 OSs [there's some wizard that is not present in 2000 so it was never possible with my level of skills]. prob is, i havent met him or even seen his setup; he jus contacted me thru email. i've attached pics describing wat he wants. i need help really quick; client says he'll tip me rated on how easy is the setup and how quickly its all done .





thanks in advance

Yes it can... you can network any Windows OS(95, 98, 2000, ME, XP) to any other Windows OS (95, 98, 2000, ME, XP) provided you install the correct TCP/IP protocols. You can even network some Linux OS's and Mac OS's to windows...
