Hi Good peeps,need your help please-------Two PCs, both useing XP Pro..
Both approximatly 4ft apart....NTL Cable Modem with the Ethernet conected to Main PC..I want Both On at same time so I can Share Files and Transfer Files from either one to the other.....(FORGET the Microsoft simple file shareing!!! NOT as simple as it's made out...Not this way any way). Took me 5 weeks to try n get it to work n Failed...5 of us FAILED to get it to work.. So. Would the "Belkin 4 port Cable/ADSL Gateway Router" be the Best way for me..If so, Is it easy to set up?
There will only be ME that's useing both PCs..
Or would I be better off useing an "8 port Auto Switch". <<Will this un let me have Both PCs on at same time then when I click the File/Folder Transfer button, will it Auto switch to other PC n Transfer.....(or have I got that wrong)....This Networking n (supposedly) simple file transfering is not as Simple to my Simple Brain!!!!...Me Thinks the Gateway Router is the Best Way....i Will Sit Patiantly here awaiting your Helpfull replies....Thanks All.
