Urban Posted August 5, 2009 I have 2 Pc's on my workstation, a laptop with windows vista, and a desktop with XP. The laptop connects to the internet wirelessly and for the desktop I have a cable that conencts to the router. Not sure how the above info is useful, but I need help accessing my desktop hard drive through my laptop and vice versa. How do I set this up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urban Posted August 8, 2009 Followed all the steps as described, without success. Is there such a cable that connects both computers without using the router? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allamagan Posted August 14, 2009 File sharing is the answer. Create sharing folder in each machine or you can make the whole C-drive or my documents' folder of the desktop as a sharing and then through the laptop you can have access to these folders on the the desktop. Yes, you can easliy connect two computers together by a single crossover cable without router involved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
