Hi,
I have a spare computer (recently upgraded), I want to know how I can connect my netbook to the spare base unit so I can access the items on there. I already have the house networked but there is some stuff on my spare base unit I don't want on the network. I know that I can use the netbook as a screen for the base unit but it is possible to also use the netbook as a keyboard to access documents etc on the base unit?
The netbook I have is an acer aspire one, both the base unit & the netbook are Windows XP.
