How can I connect my desktop and laptop computers to one another?
venrog asked:
I want to connect my desktop and laptop computers so I can transfer files between them. Is there a simple way to do this? I connect to the internet using the same connection via a router connected to the desktop.

For folders you want to share between the two and then turn on sharing for folders you want to share between the two computers.

depends,
if both your desktop and laptop have wifi you can connect on a peer to peer connection, or if you want use bluetooth, and have each device match together.
if you want you can also use wires and use a program like laplink, you would need serial cables to connect both computers to each other, similar to what you would do wirelessly on a peer to peer connection.
visit your local PC store and checkout a laplink cable… though there may be some brand names nowadays…
good luck
