Thanks Gerry and Keith, your replies were more than I was expected :-) Although they don't resolve my problem directly, since my cable are right cable and I don't have any serial port on my Satellite 1110 that needed by Transfer Wizard, they are still really valuable input for me for future reference. Thanks, really. I finally can resolve my problem, thanks God! It seems that I misspelled the backslash character "\" with the slash "/" character when typing the machine name in the address bar (you know, the \\machinename\sharefoldername\ things). That's why I can't connect the laptops. A little bit ridiculous isn't it?
