Syncing Laptops and Computers?
I have a Laptop and a DEsktop. I want to move a large folder from laptop to desktop. I dont want to use a Hub, just an ethernet cable. Both the comps have windows xp on them.

You can connect them with a Cat5 crossover cable. Assign each one with and ip address like 192.168.1.1 and the other 192.168.1.2. Also, make sure they are in the same workgroup.

Good site on anything with networking. What I did on my 2 XP machines was set up “internet sharing”, so both have the internet via crossover cable. From there I shared the drive from the “host” and was able to see the drive in the other machine.
