i had a basic networking question to ask.do i need a
switch to connect between two computers?
suppose there is A and B and B is a gateway to another
subnet.do i need a switch between A and B?i am asking
coz i am not getting any lights when i connect the
cable out of A's ethernet to  B's ethernet.i though
you could just give the output of A to B if u wanted
to route all packets of A through B.kinda seems weird
to me.i tried switching ethernet cards too.
plz cc to me as i am not subscribed.
Thanks.
Brian
