its a pre made 10 metre crossover cable ...like the piccys Anthony!! so thats how you remember it in your head! lol

I can now share files from my main pc to the second pc .
both PC's show up on both network placesnow.
on the second pc it says the network path is not available.
still cannot get access to the internet though on the second PC.
on another note file transfer is pretty damn fast! and what i was hoping for.

half way there just need the internet on the second pc now!
