how do i set up to transfer data from one laptop to another using crossover cables. I have lan ports and i just need to know what to do after plugging the crossover cables in so i can see both machines.
 
what o/s? if you have win98 on both pc's... file and printer sharing needs to be installed from the control panel under network properties. the workgroup name should be the same and a common protocol. i think you will need to create a share as well on one or both laptops.

w2k? you will need to know the username and password when you try to access the laptop and you will also need to create a share.
