Why Borland C++ 5.0.  Doesn't that predate XP by like 7 years or more?\n\nBTW: Google is your friend.  Google knows all. (see links below).

Hey Pal,\n\nTo use the windows file sharing, you should just share one folder! \nbut if you have problem, try to check your connectivity use PING command, after you got the result try to check firewall configuration!\nit should work after you check these things.\n\nCiao,

Try Beamfile, send files up to 5GB in size for free, http://www.beamfile.com/  Note that beamfile must be installed on both computers, the one you send from and the one you are sending to.

well, you can netstat them while sending them a file .... best to make it a large file so that you have time to determin which connection is theres...

on the same network running windows XP go into the file properties, right click properties, then click sharing and share it, from seperate areas using pcanywhere or use a peer 2 peer network such as kazaa or limewire

I have some c++ serial port code that does what you want. Email me and I will send it to you. I have used it for a few apps. and it seems to work just fine.

If the file you downloaded is in the .ZIP format then winXP should handle it. However if you would like to get a free program that opens and creates ZIP files then you can get it from the link below. Good luck!

I have a couple of suggestions.  First, I'd install a local FTP server to make sure that the problem really is in the code and not in the speed of your network.  I've included a link to one server below, but you can find others using your favorite search engine.\n\n500MB seems like a very small amount of data.  Are you sure you want to use multi-threading?  Could you start multiple copies of your program?  If you decide to go with threading, I'd upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 if you don't have it already - I included a link to the free version below.\n\nIn VB2005, there's a new component for threading called BackgroundWorker.  I've linked to one example of it's use below -- but MSDN has a lot of material on it, including examples.

Use the Contractible Header script from Dynamic Drive to EASILY do this.  See source for URL.\n\nGood Luck!

Some people.  Yes you can connect them via Firewire.  Put the files you want to transfer in a shared folder, or share the folder they are currently in.  It should be as simple as plug and play, both Mac and PCs running Windows XP support transfers of files via Firewire.  Note, you can't do this with USB 2.0 unless you have a network enabled USB 2.0 connection, it's a special USB cable you have to buy, basically it has networking brains in it.  Firewire has this ability built in.

i think windows netmeeting is the best tool for it\npeople don't know but it is ready to install in every windows xp/98/95/me\nhow to find it?\nclick start button select 'run' \nwrite this apliccation conf.exe\nif netmeeting doesn't appears (in some machines could take some time, it depends on how many applications installed do you have) go to control panel select 'add/remove programs' look for the windows applications and select the comunications folder (once selected click on the 'details' button and see if netmeeting is selected) it could ask for windows cd to install it\n\nif you still can't install it, go to www.microsoft.com click at the downloads link (at product resources, check it at the left side of the main page) and once in there search for the netmeeting aplication\n\nonce you finished the wizard to instalate it you have to select a server to connect this program i suggest to get a serverlist from www.netmeetinghq.com and select one running server. Once you connect to the server you can connect another machine (installing netmeeting and connecting to the same server) and then you can connect to the other pc\n\nNetmeeting has some interesting features like live web cam video transfer, live audio transfer, files transfer, connect to the others desktop (and that is what you were looking for)\n\ni suggest to try it and first of all connect both pc to the server to see netmeeting in action, then you should be setting the 'remote desktop' at the remote pc. i consider that is very useful to read some help files at microsoft. it is not so complicated, and it works fine.\n\n--did you know why i am suggesting you to install microsoft netmeeting? i had the same problem as you once. a friend of mine too. We both need to work at home using the office computer. But we couldn't install any software to do it because ours bosses don't let us. So, we use a software that windows owns. That matches perfect for our situations!\n\ni think that you can install & use it as well as we do. Good Luck.

Not natively within DOS... but with a MS resource you can.\n\nSee here ( http://www.windowsitpro.com/Web/Article/ArticleID/16048/16048.html  ) for more info - but the gist is that httpcmd.exe allows you to pipe HTML GET requests and use the output - which should let you download and save files if used correctly.\n\nHope that helps!

If you're using windows XP, right click on the file, click on "send to" and then on Compressed (zipped) Folders\n\nWindows XP comes with its own ZIP utility.\nFor other operating systems, try either winzip or winace.

You have to be more specific when you're asking this question. What do you want to hook up???  Whats the purpose of hooking it up??? Is gaming involved??? INternet???\nWhat OSs are involved?\n\nIf you want both computers to link up, but limited to (eg. transfer files..)  you can use a number of methods:\n\nONe is the serial cable method. \nAnother is the parallel cable method. \n( for these two, you need to configure windows for direct connection. OR you can use a third party software such as "laplink" to connect )\n\nIf both laptops have network capability, try hooking them up via LAN, or use a Crossover Cable from port to port. \n\nLike i said, this involves a number of methods, you have to know what type of task needs to be performed.\n\nGlad to help.
