I have two computers with network cards (10/100 base T ethernet) and I want to transfer a lot of information between the two. I figure the fastest way is to connect the two via a cable. In the old days, you would have used a serial cable but I believe there are faster ways now, at least I hope so. Unfortunately, only one has firewire. Both have USB.
So can I connect the two with a cat 5 cable and use Windows Networking protocol so that each computer will "see" the other one ? I mean if you hook two computers up via their 10/100 base T cards, you could transfer info at 100 Mbps right ? that would do the trick....
Any suggestions ? Any good place to go on the net to find the answer (i.e. not a general discussion group) ?
