I connected my desktop and laptop, both running Windows XP, using an
ethernet crossover cable. I did this a year ago with two desktops
(one with XP, the other with Windows 95) and got it to work then.
This time around, I got the connection working (meaning the computers
could see each others' shared folders), but transferring files by
drag-and-drop (or by control-c/control-v) was *sometimes* very slow.
It even froze the computer desktop occasionally; and sometimes the
transfer wasn't faithful (i.e., the files had the right size, but the
contents were garbage).
What am I doing wrong?
