Alright, Im a total noob when it comes to networks. I've never connected 2 computers together so I really have no clue where to start..but hopefully what Im looking too do isn't too hard.
First off my machines..2 computers both of them running Windows XP Pro w/ SP2. Both have a NIC, and the new comp has 2 NICs built in actually.
All I want to do is transfer files from my old computer to my new computer...I don't need to share internet access but if that comes along with it then thats fine.
Is there a simple guide to doing this? Im assuming I need a crossover cable, which I should be able to pick up tonight hopefully.
