Most places would tell you you need to have a hub or at the least a crossover network cable if you’re going to be networking a couple PCs together.
Not so, Dell.
Apparently, when a person over in the UK called to purchase a couple of PCs and inquired about networking together the Dell rep posited that they could use a PowerEdge server to share files and printing functions between the two PCs.
While that’s technically true, it does take a bit of a leap to see how that’s a reasonable reccomendation. Especially to someone that’s purchasing two machines. Digital Spy has the original forum thread in all its glory.
