UNSOLVED
file transfer problem between two laptops
I have two laptops;
1- Latitude D505 (Windows XP)
2- Latitude C 640 ( Windows 2000 prof.)
I want to transfer files from 640 to 505. I bring infrared ports near each other but wireless link ikon doesn't show up in any of them.
What can I do ?

Two Methods:
- Use a CrossOver Cat5 Cable (not regular) and connect the two via ethernet ports. Place both machines in the same workgroup name and give static IP Addresses. Use the above guid to open sahres.
- Or, using a switch (not a hub) and a regular CAT5 cable, use the above guide to share files.
I would think the infrared would be awfully time consuming, but by using CAT5, you would at least have a 100Mbps connection between the two.
