| | If it is just a switch and not a router there will be no DHCP to give out IP addresses etc. It will not be plug and play as Logicearth suggests. You will have to manually setup static IP addresses on each PC. A router would be a much easier and simpler solution even if you don't have Internet. |

| | You dont need the switch at all... Just connect the two computer with twisted pair with RJ45 |

| | And if at least one of the PC's has a gigabyte NIC you can use a regular network cable instead of a crossover cable. |
