I have a working crossover cable, i am looking to transfer a large amount of data ~20GBs between two computers (one lappy, one desktop).
Anyways, i have never done this before, are there any things that i need to watch out for? do i need to configure the IP's?
And if i get it working how long should i expect 20GBs to take?
The Desktop has XP Pro and the lappy has MCE
EDIT: alrite guys im back...i have successfully connected the computers and they see each other but i cannot access the documents on either....I have simple file sharing and remote connection enabled...
My Workgroup name is HOME.
The message i get is "Home is not accessible. You mightn not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator....The network path was not found."
