Easiest way if both computers are not on the same network? A USB transfer cable. Connect the cable to both of the computers. Then go to "My Computer" on both computers, and you should see each other's storage device. Here's an amazon link to a suggested product: Belkin Easy Transfer (F5U279)

I think for computer to computer connections you need a cat5e "crossover" cable. This one is called a "patch" and is used for modem to computer connections. The wiring is different, so make sure you search for "crossover" cable. Amazon has a bunch of what you will need.

You simply hook up the data cable and the power cable, thats it. I don't know what you're talking about in regards to this unremovable tab you mentioned. Good luck!

Your ethernet is port is actually a combo port (LAN/VGA combo port). It is located on the left side of the laptop near the HDMI port and USB ports. You need to buy a cable for ethernet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/360828837220?lpid=82

Hi. You get a USB to Ethernet adaptor with it, and can buy USB to rj45 very cheap.

Yes, you can connect a cat5 cable and set up a network. It is perfect for travel.

Just power. To nearest outlet. Ethernet connection not required. You tube will have videos to help with set up.

I'm thinking hook up a c drive to your pc or try ask Netgear for instructions for your Macbook.

I researched what a Cat5 is. Not sure what the port looks like to give you a conclusive answer. There is a port that has three screens above it. So, googling the printer or calling Samsung did not help you? Sorry not knowledgeable about Cat5 cables to help you. But the printer works good.

Hello there, the end connector for the printer is USB. You need what is called a USB Male A-B printer cable. One end is the traditional rectangular USB male shape you are familiar with that plugs into your PC and other end is sort of a square male connector that connects to the printer itself. You can also use a Cat5 Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a router. You can use one or other. Mine is connected using the Ethernet connector, my computers share the printer on a home network. A-B Printer cables come in sizes 6 feet to 10 feet traditionally. I believe you can go as high as 25 feet before the USB cable has communication problems. I hope this helps.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

Unfortunately, the USB is set up to access a Hard drive, not the network. There is an Ethernet port on the back that requires HARD-WIRED to a router or hub.

Yes. This ethernet cable will work for desktop and laptop connections provided that your modem is not strictly a wireless hub.

It will be easier if you remove the desk top's hard drive. Connect the data cable connector and power supply to the hard drive. Connect USB plug to laptop. Power up both the drive and the laptop. Look for the hard drive as a removable drive in My Computer.

are you asking if you can backup your laptop via its ethernet conneciton? That is the nature of the system design. if both devices are on the same network, to should work fine. If the lap top is remote, and connecting on the internet, performance would be limited by your connection speeds.

No. This is an ethernet to USB device, and not at all wireless. Ethernet will use a standard CAT5 cable.

Yes for sure. If your desktop is not wireless Davy you can always use an Ethernet cable

Nope, that cable is just like an extension cord to connect a computer to a trendnet KVM switch. I'm guessing what you want is more like a secondary VGA port. If you use a laptop you can connect the Smart Board to the VGA port of the laptop and *usually* you will be able to use the laptop screen as the main one and the smart board as the secondary. If its a regular PC, you could install a VGA card with multiple ports, if you really need to use the USB port look for a "usb vga adapter" right here in amazon.
