Connect the two via LAN ports. The network should be auto detected, if not create a Home Network under Network Connections.EDIT: Oops, I just noticed that is was Xp-Vista and not XP-XP. Sorry about that. XP-Vista does not auto detect AFAIK. Might just be me, though.For Vista Do this under Network and sharing centre :network discovery: ONpassword protected: OFFfile sharing: ONpublic folder sharing: ONMake sure both Laptops have the same workgroup name
Yes, you do.
You dont need a Hub, just use an Ethernet crossover cable
