just go to the nearest computer store or Radio Shack and ask for crossover cable to connect to computers together, Thay'll know what you talkin about. You don't need to spend alot for a brand-name like Belkin. Also, it's are pretty easy to make it yourself.

If you buy a USB transfer cable you can.  But if you already have a network connection between the two computers, it's just easier to share the necessary folder and then copy the files to it.

yes, try to connect the 2 PC together some how (seriel cable is the best way- both end should be male (have the little pins- needles if you want)), and configure you game's network so the computers can see each other, it should be very easy.\nhave fun.

Thats what I want to is well and here is the answer when I asked: (I havent tried it yet)\n\n"The USB cable will not work for you. You will need to purchase a crossover cable, a special network cable, to connect the two computers. Then, the XP network setup wizard should be able to help you do the rest."

You will need an adapter.\n\nSpecifically, a parallel-to-USB wire.\n\nThe link listed as a source is an adapter made by Belkin. It gives you some more information about this type of adapter.\n\nNOTE: The site may not represent the lowest price for the product. I highly advise searching local stores and internet sites for the lowest price.

these answers that suggest of using a USB to USB Datalink Cable are in principle correct but it doesn't work because you can neither share the folders nor install the communication program on the PC for this Link Cable. did you ever try to do this blindly? .. :p\nso it might be the better solution to hook the TV set to the PC using a S-video cable, provided that the PC has an S-video output and the TV set has the corresponding input.

there are a few ways.\n1. purchase a CROSSED network cable. (regular network cables are straight-thru). Plug each end into the network jack on each computer. this will allow both computers to connect to each other.\n2. if you connect to the internet with a hub or router, you should be able to plug both computers into it and then share the c drive on your computer so you can access it from the laptop. copy the files you need.\n3. use a software like laplink\n4. usb to usb connection\n\nTo wipe the hard drive on the PC you an either delete all the files or do this:\n\n"If you want to format your drive when XP is installed, please try the following:\n\nSet your BIOS to boot to the CD-Rom or hold down the "F8" key to access the system. Perform the following.\n\n1. Start Computer booting from CD\n2. Choose Recovery Console (R)\n3. At the dos prompt type: "format C:" (without the quotes)\n4. If it asks for the "Administrator Pass Word", Type it in if you have one or just hit "Enter" to continue. If you use a password...\nRemember it. "WRITE IT DONE AND PUT IT IN A SAFE PLACE!"\n5. Commands that you can use, format (drive)/ Q (quick) FS/ (File system fat/ntsf)"\n\nI got this from the 2nd link below.

Yeah what that dude said. Connect them with firewire. If you hold down T on one of them when booting up it will boot as a hard drive, and appear as a drive on the other computer so you can copy stuff off it that way.

First, both computers need network cards, although most come with Ethernet these days.\n\nTo connect them, you have two options.  You can connect them directly using a crossover cable.  Simply plug the ends of the cable into the network ports on each computer.  If you plan to maybe add other computers later, get an Ethernet hub with 4 or 5 ports.  In this case, use 2 regular (not crossover) cables to attach the computers to the hub.\n\nPresto, home network.

Try a free file transfer service such as http://www.rapidupload.com or http://www.myfilehut.com .\n\nIf the computers both have serial ports, there are cables and programs you can buy to connect them together.  In the days of DOS there was a popular one called Laplink.  Don't know if that's still around but I'm sure your local computer store can tell you what the modern equivalent is.\n\nIf the computers both have USB ports you could use a small external drive that is expressly designed for transferring files.  Again, check with your local computer store to see the variety available.

If you are refering to connecting them thru IDE cables, no. It can not be done. The only way to connect two computers to achieve any sort of benefits would be to network them. The results would be the ability of file sharing & the extra storage capacity. Using certain software, you can also control both machines from one platform but that's about it.

I would advise using a router. However, it is possible to network using USB. \nThis is a very frequently asked question.\n\nYou will need a Male to Male USB cable:\nhttp://www.mobileplanet.com/product.asp?code=EXP_USBAA\n\nYou will also need to follow the instructions on the microsoft website listed below, after you have established a USB network connection between the 2 computers.\nIt is better, though, to connect the 2 computers using a Crossover CAT5 cable, or just buy a router for $50.

TAKE A CROSS CABLE, IF ITS WINDOWS XP AND HAS A LAN CARD. CONFIGURE LAN AND TRANSFER.\nEASIER IF U HAVE AN EXTERNALL HARD DRIVE.
