Y'know, I've been wondering this very thing myself! I've got a laptop and two desktops in the house, all use Windows XP, and I've got different files on each that I need to move around. I asked one of the "gurus" at the campus and they gave me a twenty minute lecture on home networking and stuff, but never actually answered my question. So..here goes...all I actually need is this cable, the RJ45 double-male, and I should, theoreticaly, be able to "see" both computers and move files back and forth with a few mouse clicks? Do I need to go into Network, name both computers, then looke for the other one when I make the cable connection? Please, if I've missed a step somewhere, let me know. I'm geting a little desperate on some of this stuff. Thanks!!
