whats the fastest easiest way to transfer files to my laptop?
 

well?

hyperterminal :thumbsup

if you arent going to burn them onto a cd first of course ;)

cat5, of course. Or a memory card, as from a camera.

LAN? usb memory stick?

what is that?

CD?

it allows one pc to connect to another pc / notebook directly and you basically just drag and drop (or send) files from one machine to the other :)

Can't get any easier then that...

ok how do I get that shit setup?

How big are the files? I say USB key if the files are under 512mb

ok how do I get that shit setup?

LAN or portable hd :thumbsup

Connect both comp's to a hub, send yourself the files over MSN. I've done this with 700mb files, and it takes about 6-7 mins for 700mb's

good question let me get with my tech guy and ill get back toy ou in a few :)

i *think* its as simple as just dialing into your latop via the phone line though or via the network connection

what type of net connection you got?

Just need to setup a "direct network connection" and make sure both computers are ont he same network name (MSHOME, perhaps?)

Super easy. One will patch straight into the other. Don't forget to share the directories you want to see from the second computer.

If I wasn't going to do that, I would just burn a CD.

cable

then do what elli said above thats what my guy told me was the quickest way if you are on cable :thumbsup

get a kit at Frys that lets you hook the laptop drive up to a ide cable and do it that way.

cool thanks guys and girls :winkwink:

:thumbsup do laptops come with gigabit nic cards yet? I'm not a laptop junkie :( just a PC speed deamon. :)

Thats the fastest way to do it...

But if you don't want to open up your laptop.

Just send it through the network :thumbsup

No idea. Our newest laptop is the Toshiba A25 from last year. It's blue. :)
