Re.: Bridge Cable

Butter,
I'm glad everything worked out!
It was actually my boss that got me started on this, as he wanted to connect an office PC to his new Notebook and trasfer data files. He is also on a wireless network.
I decided to pursue it myself . . was getting tired of burning CD's to install programs on another PC.
Doing it via the wireless network means assigning folders as shared and all that.
I ended up purchasing a bridge cable from Tiger Direct but have not tried it yet.
Instead I went for the gusto and bought a Maxtor 300GB external hard drive that will connect using USB or Firewire. Just install the drivers and you're away. Comes with a Backup program as well. Best investment I ever made!! They have dropped in price considerably over the past couple of years.
If you have any other perdicaments by all means shoot me an email. Happy New Year to you too.
