How can i hook a laptop computer to a desktop computer both running windows xp with a Ethernet or usb cable?
Hello there,
You dont do that with a usb cable it is done with a LAN/Ethernet cable. Connect the ends to the ethernet port on both pc's. If you dont know d ethernet port, look at the ends of the ethernet cable, then check all the ports on the pc's for which is the receiver, ie the port where it would fit into perfectly. Then, you would go to Networks on any of the PC's. You would see the other pc as a network, where the network name is the pc name. To access any, click on the network. Eg, to access the pc from the desktop, click on the pc (the user name) from the desktop, viceversa. When you click, you would see the different users on the pc, if they are more than 1. Select the user that you want to get data from, if it asks for password, enter the username's password. Then you can continue with your file transfer.
Please endeavor to give me feed back i you encounter further difficulties.
Hope this was helpful?
Have a lovely day.
