    Prasad,

    I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

    If you want to share the PCs on a peer to peer network then you must use a "Crossover" Ethernet cable so that the PCs can talk to each other.

    Ethernet, like all other networks is a serial connection, that requires a "Transmit and Receive" lines. If you use a standard Ethernet cable, you will be connecting Transmit to Transmit and Receive to Receive. A crossover cable Crosses the Transmit to Receive for one unit to Receive and Transmit on the other.

    If your question is related to using one monitor and using the PIP feature to capture each computer's screen output one one device, I personally have never done this. I would suspect that you would have to run two output lines to the TV and then let the TV do it's job.
