Connecting two computers

Comment:

hello guys My question is how do I connect two computers up together so I can share files between them. I'm using an Ethernet cable which I have connected both computer up with, but I don't no where I have to go in order to access his hard drive and vice versa. Any information you could give would be great or even direct me to a tutorial would be better. Thank -Flash Mobo - ASUS P5GD1 GC - Radeon X600 CPU - P4 3.2 Ram - 1Gig

Depending on the type of NICs installed you don't need a crossover cable. A patch cable may suffice. Check out the links picohat provided. Life's more painless for the brainless.
