Hello,

I was informed by my friend that I can transfer or share data with another computer via an ethernet cable, and that I didn't have to be connected to the internet. I tried it, and I failed. So my question is, how do I accomplish this ? I recently purchased a new PC and I want to transfer some files. How would I go by doing that? or is there any free or inexpensive methods of doing it? besides the burning files to a CD or DVD and doing like that.

Thanks in Advanced.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello

Bet you used a patch cable and not a crossover cable between PCs. A patch [ straight thru ] is for connecting dislike interfaces [switch port and nic port for example].

You need a crossover to connect two nics together. Then just run the network setup wizard and your networking/data transfer is ready to go.
