Whats up guys, I should probably know this but what is the simplest way to transfer a large amount of data from one pc to another. Say that you dont have a network set up to do this, or you dont have a dvd or cd burner. just 2 ethernet cards and a cat5.

simplest way i would think would be to set up a small home network. and use file sharing, but since u are using windows, i would disconnect from the internet while doing this because File and Printer Sharing is one of the easiest exploits a hacker can use to gain control of a box. but if you are doing it for a short term period have at it. here check this out. it might work for you.

easiest way would be to use windows network wizard or even simpler connbect the PC's together and then just right click the folder u want to share and click on sharing and create a schare and visit it in IE //ipaddress/sharename

ipaddress can be found by:
start > run > type "cmd" take away the " > ipconfig > look at what it says next to ipaddress

good luck :sayyes:

another thing is to purchase a usb cable that transfers files from computer to computer. i dont think they are expensive at all.

unfortunately, a single cat 5 cable will not work.

you will either need 2 cat5 cables, and a hub, or you will need a crossover cat5 cable.


no clue why noone mentioned that.

It quite easy to rewire a cat5 into a crossover cat5 . I just joking it would be cheaper to just buy a crossover cat 5 unless he happen to already own the tools needed(rj45 end and a Rj45 crimper) to turn it into a cross over.
