Help on Networking!

Hello Friends,

I need a small know-how on home networking. Today i bought a new CPU box. I now have 2 CPU boxes and only one Keyboard, mouse and monitor. I can connect the two cpu's via a crossover ethernet cable. What i would like to know is how could i access the files that is there in my other CPU box. It dosent have any keyboard, mouse or monitor. is it possible via remote desktop or something. Can any one of you guys help me on this?

Thanks

1 - What OS are you running on your "boxes" ?
2 - Can you disable keyboard/mouse in the BIOS of "Box2" ?

Personally, I use a KVM switch to operate my setup with 2-4 boxes,
and they are tied together with a network switch.

Hi BearCat,

I got this solved. I bought a Crossover ethernet cable and it done the trick! My other box dosent have Keyboard, mouse or monitor. Just the CPU. It works now!

thanks to McoreD for his online support :-)
