Re: transferring files from desktop computer to laptop

Thank you for your quick response. The problem is that it will not connect
from either computer to send anything. I have some data files from a
licensed program I would like to send over, and also set up all my favorites
on I.E. I pluged in the data cable to the desktop where I would normally put
the dsl cable into and the same with the new laptop. I then used the XP disk
to set things up per instructions. It kept looking for a port when I used
Auto detect. That's as far as it would go. I would apprecate any help you
can give me.
Thank you in advance.........................
