Hi Andrew,

I've got the two machines connected via one of the Belkin switches that I bought as a result of some advice you gave me a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, although I've tried several times, I've never been able to set up an Ethernet connection. Any advice you can offer on how to do so would be much appreciated.

In so far as using a USB cable is concerned, I wouldn't need to purchase one, as I have one that came with some other equipment.

Best.

Robert.

Hi,

No the best way is via Ethernet.  You have two machines connected via an
Ethernet cable, most likely going through a switch or router.  You can
then share files and devices, as well as the Internet, through both
machines.

If you have this arrangement already set up you only need go through a
couple of extra steps to get the file sharing enabled.

You could go via USB cable if you want, I have a guide somewhere to do
it, but it is a special cable required, and has limited functionality
after using it for file transfer, and needs additional software
(drivers) to allow the other disk to show up.

Andrew.

Hi Folks,

I wish to copy a large amount of data from one computer to another. What
is
the best and easiest way to do this. Can it be done via USB cable and if
so,
will each computer show up on the other as an extra hard drive?

Best.

Robert.
