    Nah mate you can't do that unless you have an adaptor, the laptop has a smaller plug on it than your desktop can handle.

    Go to one of your computers and see if you can go to the start menu->Run and type \\theothercomputer then push enter. If that works you are in otherwise go to setting up the tcp/ip stuff as the others have described.

    IF SOME/ALL OF THE MESSAGES THAT APPEAR DO SO AS WINDOWS MESSENGER POP-UPS (IT'LL SAY "MESSAGER SERVICE" AT THE TOP OF THE POP UP BOX) THEN IT'S BECAUSE BY DEFAULT WINDOWS MESSAGER (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MSN MESSANGER) IS SWITCHED ON.

    LOOK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW TO TURN IT OFF: WINDOWS MESSENGER SERVICE

    HAPPY SPANKING.

    /me would not be using that specific subnet mask....pretty lonely network you're gonna have there.

    Winja,
    I think Win-doze needs the Microsoft Client for Windows to recognise another Windows file system, if you are wanting to see it thru Win-doze Exploder. This is installed thru Network Connections, as another client type. I'm sure some Micro$oft desk jockey around here could tell ya fo sho tho.

    If you manage to IP address both machines to the same network, confirm physical connectivity thru the cable (the LEDs are good clues), there might be an FTP server applet in XP? Dunno. Another one for the M$ nerds.
    Otherwise get something like 3CDaemon (or google any other free FTP server of your choice), set up the source machine as the server and surf to it from the destination to pick up your files.

    W2K definately has an ftp server. And all Windoze I think (after W95 anyway) have an ftp client. So long as the two machines have physical connection on the same network and with IP addys in the same subnet (and yeah, a sensible mask - try 255.255.255.0) , it should be possible to connect from the DOS command line (might need to manually add a route).None of this is much help to Mr WINJA.

    Your cable will need to be a cross-over if they're connected directly to each other unless you've got auto detecting network sockets like switches have. But since you've had it working before, I assume that part is okay.


    Next: As long as both PC's have IP addresses (type ipconfig in console) and they can ping each other ie ping ***.***.***.***, then you've got a connection.

    Next: Install a FTP server on one PC and the FTP client on another (IE or explorer can do FTP so don't have to).


    Happy file transfer.


    Don't forget to switch off the FTP server or uninstall it when done.
    Personally use FileZilla FTP.

    Stuff the crossover cables, I tried networking my mates laptop and mine to play some games, static ips firewalls off the whole hog, and his could talk to mine (ping) and he had full access (not just shared docs) but blow me down, all I had was shared docs.

    reverted to our modem router and straight through cables and there were no issues.

    Unless you want to go through a "Network Setup Wizard" blah blah which requires bloody floppys

    If you have broadband and 2 or more ports on the router, then just use that. Muuuuuch easier.

    Either that or simply use a high capacity Ipod

    Easiest way - by far, is a biggish memory stick. plug into USB port on laptop. Copy files to it. Remove, plug into desktop USB port. Copy files from it. repeat if necessary.

    No mucking around at all.

    Mr WINJA, suggest you get a USB memory stick from Dick Smith and forget about all the network/cable shit
