Ok this I don't understand. In one pc I have a ethernet card that connects to the internet. In the other pc an ethernet card not connected. When I connect with laplink correct I just use a serial cable the same set up as when autoplaying games. So how do I connect them to make swapping files faster? Lan cable? how does this connect?. I had thought before about splitting my internet connection to both pc's but see no benefit for doing it?. >>Ok now no more.,that's it. >:( OK just that last bit :-) Sarah. >>Sarah. > >Paul
