2. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Network-Cards-/20318/i.html?Type=PCI%2520Network%2520Cards&PCI%2520Cards%2... - you should be able to get one for less than £5 including postage.
Edit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ethernet-PCI-Adapter-10-100-Mbps-Network-Interface-Card-/221001491859?pt=U... looks a possibility

I used to use them quite a bit when encountering older PC's with modems but no onboard LAN when helping people install broadband with "proper" routers.
Do need a driver but they usually come with a driver CD.

How do you store one TB per second?

Sorry about that. I got those figures from the HP Manual, but I have now seen them in a brief spec as 10/100/1000Gigabit Ethernet LAN so the typography was at fault. The processor is an AMD at 2.3 GHz which I regard to be near radar use!
I do not have any experience of LANs as such, having only one computer most of the time, but the Dell XP does have a LAN outlet which appears to be of a 10/100 Gb Ethernet variety. The two computers are both plugged into my Belkin N Router (which has 4 inputs) and work properly to allow me to send this!!
What I want to do is to let each computer swap files to each other and to allow them to print things on printers without the need to swap their USB connector around as required. It did look like that it would be necessary to set up another ring to do what I wanted.. The options of PCI LAN adapters look a bit complex at first sight and I hope there is a scheme to use what I have. I also have an USB cable that purports to do the job somewhere which I never managed to get two computers to see each other, despite having the proper drivers installed (they were Win 95 and 98SE then). If I find it I might try again.

I tried a similar experiment recently, but with powerline adaptors forming a potential (additional) slowdown.
FTP managed about 3.5MB/sec between the two PC's.
This is reasonable over a number of 100Mbs connections.

I have got some way towards getting there. Each computer seems to set up OK and the Win 7 does seem to see the XP machine and its printers but it also expects any other machine to be on Win 7!. The XP machine seems to want to use XP to run matters at The Win 7 end by the use of a set-up disk!!
The setting up of workgroups appears not to let me make them both the same for some reason. I have not tried to print anything on the "joint" printers yet and have not discovered the options to share folders as things seem to e organised differently in each computer. There must be a work-round when I have played some more.
Thanks.

Then go through the setting in the Network & Sharing centre.
Password protected sharing is always problematic between different Windows versions so ideally don't use that.
I boringly usually put all my PC's in the old-style MSHOME workgroup. (Computer properties)
