Option 1:  Pure Ethernet. Install Network Interface Card (NIC) in each computer (PCMCIA NIC a Laptop) and Connect them with CAT5e Crossover cable. (Total cost about $15 between Desktops, $35 between Desktop to Laptop).  The connection can run at a speed of 100Mb/sec. You need to configure both computers to form a Network, and then switch On file Sharing. <a href="http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html" target="_blank">Instructions for Network configuration.</a> Option 2:  Mixed connection (Ethernet, and USB). Let say that your Desktop has already NIC. Your Laptop has a USB port and you don't want to buy PCMCIA network card. You can plug a USB to Ethernet unit into the Laptop, and then connected the two computer via CAT5 crossover cable. (Total Cost about $30) Speed of transfer depends on the type of USB. USB1.1  will yield a Transfer of 11Mb/sec. USB2.0 will yield a Transfer of 480Mb/sec. Example: <a href="http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10315385&hdwt=30701&loc=101" target="_blank">EZ CONNECT COMPACT USB 10/100 CONVERTER.</a> You need to configure both computers to form a Network, and then switch On file Sharing. <a href="http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html" target="_blank">Instructions for Network configuration.</a> Option 3:  USB Direct. Important - Never connect a regular USB to USB cable between two computers, the result may be one or two fried Motherboard. Get a USB Direct Connect Module, it is a USB cable that has a special Network module installed on it. This Module act as a "NUll" connection and isolates the 5Volts lines between the two computers.  Example: <a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0194575" target="_blank">USB2 to USB2 File Transfer Cable.</a> Connect the two computers with the special cable through the USB ports; install the Drivers and your are Connected. You need to configure both computers to form a Network, and then switch On file Sharing. <a href="http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html" target="_blank">Instructions for Network configuration.</a> USB1.1  will yield a Transfer of 11Mb/sec. USB2.0 will yield a Transfer of 480Mb/sec.If you use USB2.0 Special Cable both computers have to be USB2 capable. Otherwise it will default to USB1.1 and yield transfer 11Mb/sec. (Total cost about $20-$30).Option 4:  Direct Cable Connection. This type of connection uses a cable to connect two parallel printer port (LPT), or two serial ports (COM.).  It is the most inexpensive, but the slowest, and the most awkward. (Cost about $10). You can find settings info here.  <a href="http://www.wown.info/j_helmig/dccmain.htm" target="_blank">Direct Cable Connection. </a> In sum. The Easiest - Option 3 The Cheapest - Option 4 The Practical - Option 2 The fastest with elegant look for the future - Option 1</blockquote>
