Connecting a Laptop To A P.C

Postby Mynameisnemo » Mon Oct 09, 2006 4:45 pm

Hi all,

just wondering if there's any specific hardware or software that is needed to connect the two up?

Thank you.

Three ways.

1: Simple and easy, link both through a RJ45 patch cable and setup a network.

2: Use an extirnal hard drive or flash memory, and transfer files.

3: If you can find a USB Male/Male cable use that.

My prefered would be 2, as you will get a backup of the file, however 1 is probibly the cheapest.

Cheers

Hi Cameron,

I'm not sure how to set up a network just using ethernet cables or rj45, would you be able to post a guide on how to do that?
