Let’s know how to net work computers. Ethernet method is the preferred choice as it supports a reliable, high-speed connection with minimal configuration required. Additionally, Ethernet technology offers the most general-purpose solution, allowing networks with more than two computers to be built fairly easily later. If one of your computers possesses an Ethernet adapter but the other has USB, an Ethernet crossover cable can still be used by first plugging a USB unit into the computer's USB port.
This type of cabling, called Direct Cable Connection when you use Microsoft Windows, offers lower performance but offers the same basic functionality as Ethernet cables. You may prefer this option if you have such cables readily available and Network Speed is not a concern. Serial and parallel cables are never used to network more than two computers.
Rather than cable two computers directly, the computers may instead be joined indirectly through a central network fixture. This method requires two Network cables, one connecting each computer to the fixture. Several types of fixtures exist for home networking:
- Ethernet hubs, switches and routers USB hubs
- Phone line and powerline wall outlets
