Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Forcing files to transfer over WIRED instead of WIRELESS connection

I have a Desktop (XP) and a Laptop (Vista) connected to a wireless network in my home. I also have the Desktop and Laptop connected via cable (they sit next to each other on my desk usually). Is there a way to force files to transfer between them over the wired connection rather than over the wireless (which they're doing at the moment, taking 20x longer)? I've done it a couple of times, but everytime I had to physically flick the wireless switch off on my laptop.

Thanks for any help you can give.
