    Any idea how to get a bunch of files from a laptop to a pc? I have tried burnig a disk, but it fails each time, most likely due to the cheap cd's.

    Can I connect the two together somehow and simply drag and drop the folder, or do I need an internet connection or something?

    Thanks.

    You should be able to network them with two cat5 patch cables and a router/hub.
    then basically drag the files from laptop into the shared doc's and then access them via desktop through
    my network places.

    I'm a bit rusty so if i missed anything do tell

    Actually, all you need is a crossover cable and just make sure to share the folder(s) on the laptop you want to transfer over. Unshare them when you're done.

    I think you can also have a USB-USB Network Bridge cable!

    You can, but if either of the systems has less than USB 2.0, you'll be transferring your data at less than 10MiB... in other words, I hope you have a lot of patience, 'cause it's gonna take forever. Might wanna wax the car while you're transferring those files... :p

    You'd have to buy one, and it'd come with special software and instructions. You can also use a crossover cable and Windows file sharing.
