Sharing between comps?

[DoomedSoul]

its 10 gigs.. could i just use ethernet cords from the two comps. is there any particular serial cords or are they generally the same?

Best way is to use USB cable or Crossover ethernet cables. Or get a router so you could share internet and files.

this is the fastest, cheapest and simplest way (1 Crossover cable).

It is definitely the most eficient way of doing it, but more often than not, there is trouble starting a network.
Serial cables are the same, but for a 10GB file, it is going to take a while to transfer it. Serial is not that fast. I would just put it on 3 DVD's

Dnoch i agree

 

[EricB]

pick the Internet connect sharing instead of residental gateway route

dnoch its not3 DVd's its one if you compress it and use a double DVD right

If you have a double density dvd writer, then yeah it can probably be squeezed onto one double density dvd
