P Paul Sep 12, 2003 #2 Hi Karen. 1. You need a crossover cable for transferring files, or a ethernet hub. 2. Run Windows explorer, then go to tools/folder options/view tick use simple file sharing 3. Also double click on the LAN icons on BOTH PC's / Properties, and tick File and printer sharing on both as well). (if you want to share a printer). These icons are on the bottom right of your taskbar
