George, thanks for this link, There's a lot to read there, I'll give it a go when time allows, I never find this stuff so strait forward! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 3:57 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Cards and card readers | Hi Andy, | | O.K., sounds like you may have a starter for 10. | | Before you go any further, take a look at the following. It | may seem confusing initially, but will help you understand | what's required. Much of it you have already, so it | hopefully is mainly a case of ensuring both computers have | the same Workgroup name, and are sharing things like disk | drives. Printers can also be shared. | | http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/de | fault.mspx | | George. | | -----Original Message----- | From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Collins | Sent: 08 August 2008 13:40 | To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Subject: [access-uk] Re: Cards and card readers | | Hi George - | | I have my XP desktop connected via an rj45 to a netgeer | router, and my | laptop connected wirelessly - | | Andy | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 12:47 PM | Subject: [access-uk] Re: Cards and card readers | | || Hi Andy, || || Let's start with the basics. || || Do you have a router allowing you to connect to the | outside || world? || || If so, how is your existing system connected to the | router? || Wireless or Wired? || || If neither of the above, how do you connect to the | Internet? || || George. || || -----Original Message----- || From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Collins || Sent: 08 August 2008 12:41 || To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || Subject: [access-uk] Cards and card readers || || Hi all - || || Need some suggestions about the best way to go with this. | I || have a Vista || laptop with a built-in card reader which I haven't made | use || of yet, and an || XP desktop. I can't figure out how to put my XP desk top | and || Vista laptop on || the network together in such a way that I can transfer | files || between them, || so was thinking about perhaps getting a micro sdhc memory || card with usb || reader, and using it as a go-between for both machines. || || I don't know much about this subject, and am not sure what || to go for! Would || a card with USB reader that works with mobile phones work || for the above || scenario? || || I'd be grateful for any guidance, and if anybody can help | me || get these 2 || machines communicating without going the memory card | route, || that'd be even || better! || || Many thanks - || || Andy || || ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following || link:- || ** || | [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] || ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: || ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || ** and in the Subject line type || ** unsubscribe || ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on || the || ** immediately-following link:- || ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] || ** or send a message, to || ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq || || ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following | link:- || ** | [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] || ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: || ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || ** and in the Subject line type || ** unsubscribe || ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on | the || ** immediately-following link:- || ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] || ** or send a message, to || ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq || | | ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following | link:- | ** | [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] | ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | ** and in the Subject line type | ** unsubscribe | ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on | the | ** immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] | ** or send a message, to | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq | | ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] | ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | ** and in the Subject line type | ** unsubscribe | ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the | ** immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] | ** or send a message, to | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq | ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
