In the past when I wanted to transfer files between my pcs I would hook up a crossover cable between the two pc and transfer the files. This was done with two pc’s using XP. I now have a laptop with Vista and a pc using XP. When I hook the pcs together I’m unable to discover my Vista pc on the XP pc. I am however able to do this wirelessly as they are on the same workgroup. Has anyone tried to do this directly connected and if so what advice do you have for me? I usually tend to get limited or no connectivity on my Vista PC for the connection. It seems to think I want to share the internet connection which isn’t the case. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
