Hi

I have 2 boxes. They can be connected via a cross-over cable or a hub. Unfortunately, I do not have internet connection at the moment (due to some problems with ISP). Still, I want to learn about networking, servers, etc. What can I do with 2 computers? Can I build any server or something? How could I utilise best the time I am not connected to the internet? Any suggestions...

Regards

You can configure them as all kinds of servers (web, ftp, mail, ...). Depends on what you want to use the machines for.
