computer help please

It's probably just the WinXP firewall default settings. Disable it when it's off the net. As for picking up viruses as soon as you connect to the net when using a clean Win2k install someone hit the nail on the head - you need the updates first. Confused? Get the Win2k rollup here before starting the reinstall: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...ins/rollup.asp. Fuck you're a dumb cunt sometimes, Jeff. Oh, ok - most times.

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

Heh yea my brother is getting a 1gig SD memory card for his camera so we may use that to get some of the stuff of my laptop.

Still want to netwrok them though so we can play games like Starcraft and such.

Use a router and straight throughs. When you have played with crossovers for 3+ hours and a normal lan setup takes 2 min you will understand. It will also be more scalable.

We played RA2 mostly, and struggled to get BF1942 to run how we wanted, but when it worked, it was also good...

And I would say that although I am not brilliant, I do know more than the average monkey...

USB "network" cables are generally slow and crappy. Kinda like the modern version of serial/parallel cables back in the day.

dude .. there is a way easier method of getting your porn from one computer to the other..

1) take both your computers into the laundry room and fill the dump-sink up
2) dunk the computer with the source data on it into the sink and leave for 10 minutes
3) remove from the sink and hold the wet computer over your laptop so it drains onto it. since we all know that porn is water soluable..the data has been washed from the hard drive and now floats in solution in the water

in order to insure complete data trasfer, empty the water in the sink useing a bucket or can and finish dumping that onto your laptop

your data is now transferred..

enjoy..

Not if they're USB2

Kinda like serial cables?
USB-Universal Serial Bus.
Exactly like 'em.

It'll work, it may not be with blazing speed but if you can just go buy the cable, plug it in and start transferring files then there is no reason to WINJA about it.

Or something...

HOW DID YOU KNOW . WAS IT YOU I PINGED?

na - it's the amount of porn on the PC that gave it away... enough to preclude a simple transfer mechanism...
