Direct Connection
I would like to connect a Desktop computer running on Vista Ultimate to a
laptop running on XP Home edition using a ethernet cable. Please let me know how i can transfer data between the two computers using only the ethernet cable. Thanks, Vishnu Viswanathan

Direct Connection
You will need a special patch cable called a "cross-over" cable. Some of the
wires are swapped internally allowing the direct connection. Most good electronic/computer supply stores sell them. Or you could also purchase an inexpensive router or switch and use "normal" patch cables...but that exceeds your stated requirements. Tim "Vishnu" wrote in message ...
