Hi all, repeated request.
I have an NT4 SP6 laptop. I'd like to bring data from that laptop to an =
XP Home SP1-ish laptop via a cross-cable. (SP1-ish because I refuse to =
download SP1 as published recently because it gives so much trouble, my =
updates are a bit older, from before the all-in-one package.) Thus far I =
have failed to be able to create the right settings. Despite what the =
wizard says, I especially do not want to upload the XP CD on to the NT =
laptop because I do not trust what it will change to the setup of the =
OS, which is already quite delicate as it is. So I tweaked with =
TCP-addresses, but as said I failed. If necessary I can also use a =
hub/router, but the cross-cable solution seemed so elegant that I wanna =
go for that one first. Plus it's cheap, and it's only a one time action. =
Any good ideas? Anyone maybe able to give me a detailed checklist so it =
will work as described? I'm an advanced user, so don't be afraid to go =
into tech details.
Tx in advance, Harry
