Transfer file directly from PC to PC

Usually when you want to copy files from one PC to another, you may using external HDD or flash drive to complete it. Sure there's no problem if the file size is small. But what if the file is very large (such as movie, disc ISO, etc) it will take a very long time to complete. Using ethernet cable RJ45 crossover, it could be 2x faster.... :D

You can easily buy this cable at computer store near you.
at first, connect RJ45 crossover to both PC. Wait until the "local area connection is now connected" notification appear in both PC.
If your IP address is automatic then the IP will be assigned as automatic private address IP.

You can ping each other to make sure both PC is properly connected.

Next step is to share your drive in both PC. If you use windows xp then the hand icon will appear in the shared drive icon. Give a name to your new share.
After that, right click my computer - map network drive.



Enter \\[IP address destination PC]\[share name]

Click finish. Usually the destination drive will be appear in my computer and assigned as Z: drive letter. Sometimes the login box will appear before you can get the drive connected. Type the username with destination PC's user account name and password.
