How do i send files to another computer directly using a CAT5 cross-over cable on windows XP?

if you have a crossover cable already made (the question appears to indicate so), and you are running XP on both machines, you need to set a static IP address different for each computer but in the same range (i.e. 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.1.2) then set the subnet mask the same on both (i.e. 255.255.255.0) \n\nNext you need to share a directory on one of the two systems (by default there is a directory setup called Shared Documents when you run the configure network wizard), and the only caution is don't share the root.\n\nFor simplicity since these systems appear not to be "online" at the time, disable the firewall on each system.\n\nLastly open My Computer and in the address bar type in &#92;&#92;10.0.1.1 (or whatever the address is of the system you are trying to contact) and you should see the shared directories listed.\n\nThere are other details that might need to be addressed depending on your setup/circumstances, but with the lack of details, this should head you in the right direction.

In this case two types.\n\n1.If you have HUb or Switch, use Stright cables,i.e CAT5or Cat 6 Ethernet cables, enable Netbiew protocal,go to mynetwork place,my nearest computer,then u can see the second computer.\n2.use crossover Ethernet Cable, connected pc to pc.\nenable Netbiew protocal.

first you must have pc to pc connection...\n\nusing lan (local area network)\n\nby using RJ45 (crossover) cables you can connect two \n\ncomputer and can send message directly through it...\n\nbefore you can use those above command such as net\n\nsend...

yes you can use a ethernet wire to connect the two computers, and then run the windows application to make one run from another.

First the difference between a switch and a hub is kind of hard to explain over email postings so just know that a switch is much faster and more reliable then a hub. \n\nFirst go to each computer left click the "My Computer" icon then right click each drive you want to share. More then likely there is only one hard drive, which is called the C: drive by default. After you right click that drive go down 4 lines to were it says "Sharing and Security" and left click it. Then put the curser over the "Share this drive" and left click that one and then give it a name...whatever you would like. Don't worry about any of the other stuff. Click OK. If it works a picture of a hand will immediately appear under the picture of the drive almost like it is holding up the picture...you'll see what I mean. That is the first step and will make all the computers ready for file sharing and do this to all 3 computers. NEXT\n\nGet a CAT5 cable for each computer and plug it into the back of each PC. I assume there is a network card in each computer (almost ALL new computers come with one now that is built onto the motherboard) but the way you can tell is to look in the back and see if there is what looks like a telephone plug in. Don't be confused because a network plug in (called a RJ-45 connection) is bigger then one for a land line phone line. I will assume that you have one. The next thing is to figure out how long the distance is between the computers and the switch. With CAT5 cable the maximum distance is 300 meters or 320 feet. So as long as you are under that distance you will be fine. Plug all the cables into the computer.   NEXT\n\nHere is the problem… you only have one IP address from your ADSL modem. Either you have to have a router to share the connection (giving each computer a IP address) or setup Windows Internet sharing on one of the computers, which I can walk you through if you would like. This is THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE DONE...unless your modem has a router built inside as most do now days...if you send me the make and model I will look it up for you!\n\nI am the system and network administrator for 4 major car dealership in charge of 75 computes and many different kinds of networks so I know what I am talking about. I would be more then happy to help out any more so let me know if there is anything else I can do….

if you are on diff ip networks, but same physical network, jumping a cable over will cause problems. try typing the ip adress of the other computer into your browser.\n\n&#92;&#92;10.0.x.x

get a switch/hub\n\nget two wires with which you can connect both the Pc's to the hub/switch.a CAT 5 cable basically\n\nboth of these wires should have rj-45 jacks on both sides.\n\njust plug in these wires into your pc and the hub\n\nonce done go to start->settings-> control panel->network and dial up connections\n\nright click on the connection that is showing up as active and go to the tcp/ip properties and give an ip address on one system(windows XP) as 10.10.1.1 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 leave the gateway as blank and on the other system(win98) give the ip addres as 10.10.1.2 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 10.10.1.1\n\nthat should make it work

Windows ME you mean?\n\nYes of course - either buy an ethernet cross-over cable and network them together, or plug them both into a networking switch.\n\nAssign them both similar IP addresses ie\n\n192.168.1.1 for the PC\n255.255.255.0 subnet mask\n\n192.168.1.2 for the laptop\n255.255.255.0\n\nMake sure they're both in the same workgroup and all you need to do now is share the files and you're done.

If you have ethernet jacks on each computer then you can get a crossover cable which will allow you to create a 2 computer LAN.  You can then setup file sharing on the old computer and just drag and drop your files onto the new computer :)

crossover cable can be used to network 2 computers by attaching the ends of the crossover cables to the computers. This eliminates the need to use a hub. The rest is the same. Limitation is that this method works strictly 2 computers.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nThis won't work with straight through CAT5 cables.

first of all, the only reason you would want to do this is because you don't have a router (which you usually should have to share your connection when you have high speed internet). If you do, then you don't need the crossover cable. Just open your network connection and you should see the other computers if they have shared material.\n\nIf not, then you need 2 things: ethernet jack on both computers and a crossover cable. Supposing you're on windows XP, open the control panel and click on "Network Connections." Your ethernet adapter connection should show up there as probably "Local Area Connection". There shouldn't be many of them (generally somewhere between 1 and 3) so you try the following on all of them (or the ones that seem to look like the right ones).\n- Right click on the connection and choose properties.\n- In the list of options, choose "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" and click on properties\n- Choose to configure the IP yourself\n- On your desktop, put in 192.168.0.1 as the IP, 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask and 192.168.0.1 for the default gateway.\n- On the laptop, put in 192.168.0.2 as the IP, 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask and 192.168.0.2 for the default gateway.\n- Then disable the firewall if you have any (nothing will happen because you are connected to your own computer and not to the internet. There is no risk of hacking. Just remember to reactivate it before connecting to the internet).\n- XP shouldn't require a reboot after an IP change, but it might prompt you. If it does, then reboot both computers.\n\nFrom here they should be connected, so if you check your network connections, you should see the other computer's shared folders.\nTo connect back to the internet, reenable the IP auto-detect, reenable the firewalls and reconnect to the internet.\n\nThis should be or is really close to what you need to do. I've done this about 3 years ago, so the memory is a little fuzzy. I have never done this since I got a router.

You need to make a local network. And to share some files on both computers. At least you need two network cards and a RJ45 cable (crossed) or a routeur and two RJ45 cables. Then on the network properties tick the File and Printer Sharing for Miscrosoft Networks.

When you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to a hub, switch or router, you use what's called an MDI (straight through) cable.\n\nIn order to connect one computer to another directly, you must use an Ehternet cable with a different pinout called an MDI-X (cross over) cable.\n\nThe reason for this is because your computer is a "terminal" device.  It transmits data on a specific wire and expects to receive data on a specific other wire.  Then you connect it to a "host" device and it expects same thing, but on the opposite wires.\n\nFor more information, see the article on Ehternet on howstuffworks.com\n\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet.htm

Here's how to share folders, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/getstarted/shareresources.mspx, connect the two computers together using a LAN cable and file sharing/folder sharing SHOULD work.  What you want to do and what Windows wants to do may be two different things, I've successfully done this one many computers and some simply refused to acknowledge the connection.\n\nThere is an alternative, you can try Beamfile, http://www.beamfile.com/

If you're using XP SP2, then maybe your firewall is enabled and set to block file and folder sharing.\n\nIt could also be a bad cable.

You need to buy a null modem cable, this is a cable with 2 9 pin D female connectors on each end. You attach each end to the serial / COM port on each PC. \n\nYou can then transfer files between them by running hyperterminal on both PCs and configuring the COM ports to the same parameters, try:\n\n9600 baud\n8 bits\n1 stop bit\nNo parity\nRTS/CTS hand shaking \n\nIncrease the baud rate settings on both PCs together until you start to get data errors. \n\nYou can use Z modem protocol in hyperterminal under the transfer menu to send files back & forth.\n\nIf both of your PCs have RJ45 network ports then a P2P network using a cat 5 crossover cable would be a much simpler solution.

buy a network card for about $10 bucks. \nor use a usb adpater to convert rj45 cat 5 to usb, but i would recommending using this.
