| 683393 | 2008-06-28 21:09:00 | Hi Guys I have two laptops that I want to transfer some files to and from etc. They are both fairly new with XP etc. What would be the best, easiest, cheapest way to connect them together so that I can transfer some files ? |

| 683395 | 2008-06-28 21:59:00 | Use a crossover cable, see Jamuz's signiture for a guide on how to do this easily. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 683396 | 2008-06-28 22:44:00 | Thanks for that guys Do you think Dick Smith would sell those cross over cables ? I checked out Jamuz's sig, but it looks too complex - I do not want to network them, just transfer some files rather than using CD's etc. |

| 683397 | 2008-06-28 22:49:00 | yep dick smith has them. And a cross over network is not that difficult If you dont like the idea of networking dick smith also usb to usb cables but dont use the normal usb cables as the usb to usb are wired differently |

The other way, which may be a lot easier for you, would be to get a USB thumb drive. 4GB ones are pretty cheap these days. |
