I asked a similar question yesterday but would like to rephrase it. What is better for sharing files, using 2 nic cards and a router or going usb 2 to usb 1 and back. Win 98 on 1 and XP pro on the other. Both P4 based 2ghz+ systems.
Can you explaine the simplest and most cost effective way of doing this. I'd like to just run the nics to the router for the internet and run a usb line from computer to computer unless it requires a lot of sw etc. Thanks, -jel
