The other computer must be on and functioning properly so it is "live" on the network. It has to be sending a signal.

1. you need a NIC (Network Interface Card) on both computer.\n\n2. cross over cable.\n\n3. right click my network places and select the connection of you have just created for this connection and give it a static IP address (say 192.168.0.21)\n\n4. do the same for the second computer with diffrent IP address (say 192.168.0.9)\n\n5. enable the network on both computers.\n\n6. go to the explorer and type &#92;&#92;192.168.0.21 from 192.168.0.9\n\nThat's all. \nHave Fun

Yes, there is a way...\nIn 'Network Connections' folder you will find 'Network Setup Wisard'.\nRun it and follow instructions. It really works.\nRun it on both computers. It solves the exact problem.

laptop and desktop?..\n\ngoto network connection properties of both computers, enter IP address and subnet mask on both computers to the same subnet and use a 'cross over' cable to connect both. And yes, better if they are in the same workgroup!

If you mean you want to network your two computers together using a USB cable, you can just use the networking wizard at Start --> Control Panel --> Network Connections. \n\nIf they're hooked together, they should see each other via your A-to-A cable.

I would recommend I'm In Touch, from 01Communique (http://www.01com.com).  I've used VNC as well as LogMeIn.com, GoToMyPC, PCAnywhere and several others, and while they are good, I'm In Touch has been the easiest to set up and use.

you might look into getting a Virtual Private Network.  It's a secure, internet based technology where you can connect between PCs in different locations.

You need to establish a network connection between them. You can do this in lots of different ways. The simplest is via a crossover cable connected to the NICs on each computer. You can also establish a wireless peer-to-peer connection with the proper hardware, or you can connect them using a network hub. Good luck!

Could always use a remote client such as Tight vnc, its pretty good, works with windows and unix. Just be careful which ports you leave open ;-)\n\nphil\n\nps. its open source

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.

u could great a network if both machines have network cards and booth running windows xp and u would just need a crossover cable. \nand below is the guide.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/default.mspx\n\nor if the main pc has a dvd writer u can burn it all to 1 dvd disk\nor use the pen drive between.

if both the computers are having ethernet ports then you can connect them using an ethernet cross cable...or you can also connect them by connecting their serial ports...

Make sure your computers have network cards. You can directly plug them together with an ethernet cable. Use Windows networking features from there.\n\nDo some google searching if you get stuck.\n\nThere are more elaborate ways of networking computers too.

No.  I assume you are running Windows XP, but set up a network with your two PCs.   \n\n1. Start at "Start"\n2. Go to "My Network Places"\n3. Choose "Set up a home or small office network"\n4. Use the wizard and select a name for the network (default MSHOME is fine but rather boring)\n5. Run the wizard on the second PC and use the same name for the network on both PC\n6. Reboot both PCs\n\n\nNow, is the printer a local printer to the primary PC?  If so, go to the control panel and view the printers.  Make sure the printer is shared.  Then install the printer on the second PC (easiest is to use the driver that came with the printer, but it may be a printer that comes native in Windows or you can download a driver.  But on the 2nd PC set it up as a network printer.\n\nGood luck!
