• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Relatively basic networking question.

Ok here my problem.

I have a computer conected to a home network. I will call this computer computer 4
The other computers on my network I will call computers 1 to 3
They are all plugged into the same switch and everything works fine.

Computer 4 has dual LAN controllers

i have another computer computer 5 (not connected to the network) that also has a ethernet port.

I am wondering:

1. Can I connect computer 5 directly to computer 4 (crosover cable?) ?
2. Can Computer 4 see both computer 5 files as well as the other network
3. Can computers 1-3 see computer 5 files
4. If the network is on the internet can computer 5 use the internet as well.

My prefable case would be that computer4 can see both networks, computers 1-3 cant see computer 5 and computer 5 can use the internet.

Is this all possible???

Thanks
