RE: transferring files using RJ45 cable

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Thanks for everyones help with the cable issue. I have learned about cables
and that all makes sense.

However, I still can't get the transfer wizard, or the networking wizard to
work. The 2 computers never recognize each other. I know this should be
easier than it is, and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. But I've followed
those wizard instructions perfectly.

Should I just be focusing on the networking wizard to transfer?
