Re: Files & settings Wizard Question

Thanks for the reply. The "old settings to a new computer thing" is what I'm
trying to do. I'm trying to send my files and settings from a pc to a
notebook. The notebook does not have a serial port so I'm trying to use a USB
between them. I have a usb to usb crossover cable that came with PC2PC
program and thats what I'm trying to use. The article you lead me to gets me
to a choice of 3 ways to connect two computers together..a WAN miniport ,
direct parallel or com port which is serial. So as you can see there is no
USB choice. I dont' know what a WAN miniport is. So how do I connect? Any
idea?
