I have an iBook running OS 9.2.1 and a HP running win98SE and an ethernet card hooked up directly by ethernet. I just want to swap some files realyl fast (if possible). I have several client/server programs on both computers, but no high speed internet access, only dial-up. Basically I want to send files through the ethernet cable, but i don't know how. Any help would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks. I can handle computers fine, I've just never networked before.
