I am new to computer so i was wondering if someone would be kind enough and explaing how i would transfer data from my PC to my laptop, which programs are recomended and which cables i would need to buy. thanks for the help.
Am not 100% sure and if am wrong s1 on AD will correct me, I think you need a network cable and of course a network card which most pc's today have one onboard, as far as i know windows has all the software needed to do what you want just the case of setting it up. Good Luck.
if the pc has a cd burner than could put info onto cdr or cdrw disks or get a crossover network cable
You can get usb to network kits these days - never used one. A network card for a PC is about £3.50 ($7) http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/hardware/networking/productView.htm?quicklinx=1Y31 if you don't already have one and a laptop one - pcmcia is £10 ($20) http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/hardware/networking/productView.htm?quicklinx=28V1 If you are not using a hub then you need a croosover cable as ddp says £2.50 ($5) http://www.dabs.com/uk/Search2/Product+Details.htm?quicklinx=18LK&searchphrase=crossover Job done
