| 418843 | 2006-01-06 23:26:00 | If both the laptop and desktop have NIC's (network interface cards), then a simple crossover cable between the two will do the job nicely. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||

| 418845 | 2006-01-08 09:53:00 | Thanks guys... Where would I find if they have these NIC cards onboard.. Laptop....ME, D/Top..XP At present I use a flash drive, but to much double handling. Ideally I'd like to turn the laptop into an extra hard drive, just by plugging it into my d/top comp. The laptop is used solely to store photos I take. Hook |

| 418846 | 2006-01-08 09:56:00 | If the laptop has a NIC it will have a connector similar (but 2 pins wider) than the modem connection. Same for the desktop, but a NIC card for a desktop is anly about $25 from Dick Smith anyway. |
