Does anyone know where they're sold? Maplins etc?

Just in case that you don't know what I'm talking about, I basically want to connect two computers via the RJ45 port, without the need for a hub.

A bit of haste with your repsonses would be much appreciated Very Happy

Cheers,

Well, a crossover cable only costs a few quid, and the only spare ethernet cable that I have is about 15 metres long Confused...thanks anyhoo, but I'll still have to go to Maplins to get the crimping tool etc.

lol...a "PC shop in Broadmead", and an "electrical shop on Glos. Rd.", can you be any more vague? Wink Razz...the Maplin website advertises short (0.5 - 1.5m) cables for around a fiver, so I might just go with that.

Cheers peeps Very Happy

Smile lol there's hardly any PC shops in Broadmead actually! And I walked up Gloucester Rd. from the centre for 2 bloody hours looking for a half-decent shop that sold Red Hat Linux! Without success i might add!

Actually thinking about it I think that 'electrical shop' may have been Maplins Razz
