Hi,
I am looking for an easy way to connect my HP 500 Notebook with my PC. I want to transfer files like music and pictures to and fro from PC and the notebook. Please suggest how should I go about doing this. Both the PC and the notebook are on Windows XP Pro. Thanks. |

Re: How Do I Connect My Laptop to PC
If they are on a network tied together by a router you can use file sharing within Windows to move things around. A crossover cable between the two can also be used to the same effect.

By crossover cable do you mean the cable that is plugged into the NIC of my PC through the router? I mean can I put the end which is plugged into the router, into the NIC of the notebook and make a connection? Thanks |

Re: How Do I Connect My Laptop to PC
If you don't wanna use a router then you'll need a crossover cable, which is quite different from a patch cable.
