Need help connecting two desktops together for file sharing.
The cheapest way possible, the desktops are about 5 feet apart and I want to send some files over to my newer PC from the old one. The files are about 400mb so nothing really really slow. The cheapest way possible please. I will only use this once or maybe a few more times, not to many times and not often.
sorry i only have 5 points to give

another suggestion is two NIC's (they are cheap now, check www.tigerdirect.com for network adapters) and a crossover cable
much faster than a direct cable connection

both of the computers have ethernet cards, could i go out and buy that cable they use for networking and cable modems and such, looks like a giant telephone cable with the large head. it would connect into both as i look in the back of them.
how much are these?
