Need a little networking help please... - GoFuckYourself.com

I've got my PC and my laptop on a Wireless-B network (11 Mbps).

I have about 20 GB of files I wanna transfer from my laptop to my PC. At 11 Mbps, it's too slow for me.

I have a crossover cable and I'd much rather take advantage of the 100 Mbps rate I can get through the cable.

Can I just plug my crossover cable into my PC and laptop and start transferring? Do I need to reset them first? How do I get it to ignore the wireless network and use the cable connection instead?

If anyone can help me solve the problem, I can send 1 or 2 gmail invites to you or whoever you want.

Thanks!

Do you have XP? If so, you can just network the computers together via your control panel.

I did this with my desktop upstairs and the one in the basement. I had someone giving me step by step instructions because I have no technical abilities, but apparently it's very easy through XP

Microsoft's website will probably explain it.

If you are on Win XP then connect them and start the network guide, they will take 5 sec to find eachother and you are in business...
