Notes:

• This network does not include a hub or switch
• The two computer are connected together using a "crossover cable" which is NOT the same thing as a regular "straight through" cable.
• This network has limited expandability since you cannot add another computer unless you also add a hub.  If you add a hub/switch and third computer, it will end up as a Standard Network with a Hub/Switch.
• The IP numbers are only if you install the TCP/IP protocol, which is necessary for Internet access and some games.  Since this network is not connected to the Internet, TCP/IP is optional.
• If you want this network setup to have Internet access, then the network can easily become Crossover Cable Network with NAT
