High!
I'm going to buy a laptop and I want to connect it to a desktop to transfer data between them. I was told that I'll have to use a net cable (RJ45) but I do not know how to configure Windows Vista. Can someone tell me how to do that? Thanks, |

What I want is just connecting two computers to transfer data and disconnect
them after data is transferred. I don't want to use any hub, just a cable. "Gordon" wrote: "topaiva" wrote in message ... High!

That's OK. But do I have to configure both PCs or Windows Vista from each PC
recognizes the other one? "Gordon" wrote: "topaiva" wrote in message ... What I want is just connecting two computers to transfer data and disconnect them after data is transferred. I don't want to use any hub, just a cable. Then you need a cross-over cable, NOT a straight J45 patch cable.... |
