How do I transfer files between 2 PCs using an Ethernet 'Crossover

[Guest]

I need to transfer files from one pc to the next. They both have network
(LAN) adapters, and I have a crossover cable. After plugging in the cable,
what do I need to do to start sharing files between them?

Please post any responses to: (e-mail address removed)

Very few people are going to copy and paste an email address to respond to

If you have the crossover cable up, go into My Network Places. Select Set UP
A Home or Small Office Network. Follow the instructions that keep poping up
being sure to Select "other" most of the time. The one time you won't is
when it says something about an Internet Connection. For that, just select
This Computer Has No Internet Connection. Then you get to the part where it
says Create Network Disk or something like that, which is the last step.
Just select the last option which is something about not needing the disk
and restart the computer

Then repeat this process on the other computer. After that, you should start
seeing the Shared Folders in Explorer or and possibly in My Network Places.
