 |
|
Hello, all! I'll be getting my new laptop delivered soon, and I want it connected to my old desktop machine to share some files, mostly audio/video. Now, I don’t know much about networking, so I was wondering what kind of hardware will I need for that? I already have a wireless DSL modem, and intend to hook up both machines to it, so is there some way I could use that connection to move these files? I hope this isn't a dumb question. Thanks in advance!

You could use the modem connection, but you'll need to set up "file and printer sharing" on both computers first. It should be somewhere in the network connection wizard folder/thingy. However, if we're talking large amounts of data (and it sounds like we are), then I'd suggest you hook them up via a simple crossover cable; it's much faster, and it's actually easier to set up.
