325103 2005-02-14 22:36:00 Q1) I've heard conflicting stories about whether a quick and easy method of transferring data from one PC to another via USB/USB cable is possible.

Can someone give a definitive answer?

I'm thinking in terms of either USB version to either USB version, and assuming both PC's are running at least XP SP1.

Q2) And if it's possible, can it go a step further to use the transferee's machine's Anti-Virus to pre-scan files on the transferrer's machine?

Thanks.

325107 2005-02-25 08:49:00 Does your PCs have ethernet port? You might want to check out linking both machines using crossover CAT5e cables by plugging it directly into the ethernet port. Renmoo (66)
325108 2005-02-25 09:56:00 Ive had little success with cheap USB Ethernet adaptors in Doze, better off buying cheap wireless.

There are specific cross-over usb transfer cables as mentioned though which Ive seen one work fine :)


Chill.
