There is the 'old' way of using a cross-over ethernet cable. This allows the 2 computers to use that port to talk and listen. price is about $20. catch is that you are now using the port this way, so no internet access.
Google 'crossover ethernet cable' to see how it is wired. Not many around so it is very unlikely that the cable you have is crossover. Once you use this technique, you would have to give each computer a static IP address so they have one. A router automatically assigns this when each cpu starts up or is correctly connected so the router can see it. This makes sure that each computer has a unique address. Another option, but rare, is a network drive, USB or FireWire, but if you have one, it should work. Hope this helps. Someone else may know of a way. Of course, a flash/key chain drive could do in a pinch. Jim Ault Las Vegas On 5/9/06 9:08 AM, "Scott Rossi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi List: > > Apologies for the OT question.
