I said forget it because I just wanted to tranfer 20 Gigs of data so that I can reformate my puter. I bought a Sony DRU-530A DVD Burner instead! LOL! I got a great deal too...Thanks for the help! PinHead

I read this: I think to simplify things I'd rather do the direct Connection...this isn't permanent, and I'm not concerned with security because I run both computers. But it didn't say how to do this at the site. Any help is appreciated! PinHead

OK...remember I have a dialup connection, and it wouldn't go through the router anyways...so sharing a internet connection is out. So, I haven't even set this router up yet. As I said before, I have had it setup before but that's not important. I just want to network 2 computers together via the router to share files back, and forth. I'm just not sure exactly how to do it since I will not be connecting to the internet. If that matters at all....and sorry for the slow reply....it didn't email me to tell me that I raplys to my post. Thanks for the help I'm going to check out those tutourials now. Will check back in a while. PinHead

Hello there...I have 2 puters running XP Pro, a Linksys BEFSR41 4-Port Router, and Dial Up! The good thing is that I'm not trying to "Share" a dial up connection...that would be "Just Stupid"...and SLOW! LOL! But...what I'm wondering is if this will give me a LAN that will allow me to connect the puters together, and do file sharing? I know this is probably a stupid question...but I have to ask....How do I do it? I have my Linksys setup disk....but is that all it is. See, I have only used this setup to share a "Broadband" connection...and didn't do any file sharing becasue it was my work laptop, and I couldn't change the domain of the puter. Lemme know... Thanks, PinHead
