[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Two options I know about: 1) Cat5 crossover cable. Plug into both network jacks, set up Windows on both machines to give 'em IP addresses in the same neighborhood, share the data you want, mount the drive and you're off. You could do the same with a network hub and patch cables, of course, but you can get a 7' crossover for $5 at Circuit City. This also has the advantage of allowing you to set up briefcases, which let you keep your documents on both computers synchronized. It's what I do with my desktop, laptop and keychain. 2) Null modem cable in the serial ports. Then either download Stargate from download.com, or get some sort of... terminal program, is that the term? It's been a while since I had to do this. This way isn't pretty. The only real reason to do it is if you don't have network cards. Of course, the network card for your desktop can be had for way cheap, or even free right now at OfficeMax or thereabouts. (Always look in your Sunday paper for good deals.) There's probably a USB solution, but I have no idea about that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
