The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.Also check with the site of the manufacturer of your router, because they will have in-depth details on how to

I use a Windows Vista Home Edition on a laptop. The system connects to the Internet through a cellular router EDGE (via Ethernet) and receives the data by linking receiver DVB - S2 satellite broadband connected via a USB interface. The connection is through a VPN. Windows Vista loses the symbol of the "blue planet", as soon as the VPN connects. Authentication and connectivity is OK. DNS also works OK by the way VPN, with pointing to the VPN IP address 0.0.0.0. The diagnosis indicates an error where Vista says that she finds multiple active dial connections. Y at - it a configuration option that allows me to bind the interface transmission (VPN) with return channel satellite? The same software and configuration under Windows XP SP3 works OK.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Windows Vista Home Edition not accessible PC in network
Hello
I have Windows Vista Home edition installed on a PC. I shared a few folders on the network. I gave all security and permission to everyone to read and share share the contents of the folder.
But when someone from the network wishes to access a shared folder on this computer by writing (\\abc-PC) in the Run dialog box, system gives an error "network path was not found".
I disabled the firewall and anti-virus to this PC.
Network is configured by a network of professionals expert. So no question of network.
Some people said that this is a limitation of Vista Home, but I do not.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.
Thank you
https://support.Microsoft.com/OAS/default.aspx?PRID=13014&Gprid=582034&St=1
Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support for SP2 is valid until February 26, 2010.

Original title: Netbook Licensing
Can someone give me an answer to confirm if netbooks with Windows XP Home, Vista Home Edition, Windows 7 starter (these BONES other than professional or company) be used in a business, connected to the server environment to share files?
I read somewhere that these permits cannot connect to a domain, is this true?
Of coz these OS has not input parameters are even to join a domain, how can they connect?
CAN, that my understanding of that statement means that it cannot be connected to a domain server, means that the netbook cannot be connected to the server to access files shared server?
Can the netbook share files with other computers (vice versa), other than a domain server, on a network of companies?
So what my final question is a netbook can exist in an enterprise environment? What's a standalone machine?
I'm not able to get an answer very Microsoft Singapore confirm after the call to them.
