Connect two computers with a cable

Has the latest technology in the world been born? Please, it is not, this technique has existed since the time when PCs still run on DOS. But anyway, it is very useful in the PC world of 'living with a couple, with a couple'. To connect two computers in this way, you only need each computer (of course) with an LPT (paralell) port or COM (serial) port, USB (Universal Serial Bus) active and a special cable called The Link wire has a connector to connect through the above ports (each port type has its own link cable). After that, just follow these steps. Note also that this type of connection is only suitable for family models because it only connects two computers together. On Windows XP, this connection type can be used for Windows 's' surname from 9x to Windows Server 2003 too. The article will guide you to specific practices on Windows XP. Go to Start menu> All Programs> Accessories> Communications> New Connection Wizard> Next> select Set up an advanced connection, click Next> select Connect directly to another computer, click Next. If you want this computer to be configured as a place to store information for the second computer to connect to to retrieve data, select Host; on the contrary, if you want to use the computer that is configuring access to the other machine to get data, select Guest. Click Next. You will be asked to connect port, choose Direct Parallel (LPT1). Click Next. Note: when selecting Host mode, if the computer has not created a folder in share mode (sharing information), it will be 'prompted', you just choose OK to finish, then create the following share. When configuring the information sharing folder, you are also asked about some permissions to allow users to have full control (Full Control) or only to view (Read Only). Now comes the step to grant access to information on the PC (if Host is selected), because it is used in the home, you can choose Guest for simplicity, and if you want to 'security', you can click the Add button or Properties for further configuration for fun> Next finishes the configuration process on the first machine. Next is the second PC configuration, if the first is Host, the second machine will be set with Guest parameters, and vice versa. After the two computers 'shake hands', you can share the data together as a normal file sharing network. On Windows 9x Install Direct Cable Connection! by going to Control Panel> Add / Remove Programs> Windows Setup> Commutications> marking Direct Cable Connection. Install the protocol: go to Control Panel> Network> Configuration, click Add> Protocol> select Microsoft in Manufacturers> select the protocol in the Network Protocol section to install IPX / SPX, TCP / IP and NetBEUI protocols (if not co)> restart the machine. With the server: run Direct Cable Connection> select Host (This computer has the resources you want to access, this computer has the resources you want to access), click Next> select the port that we intend to connect, click Next> Click Finish. With the client: we do the same thing but instead of selecting Host, select Guest (This computer will be used to access resources on the host computer, this computer will be used to access the resources on the host computer). . On Windows 2000 Professional Set the protocol for both machines: go to Control Panel> Network and Dial Up Connections> right click on Local Area Connection> Properties> select Install> Protocol to install more IPX / SPX. Enable file sharing, if there are no Components in the Components section, select Install> Service to install 'File and Printer for Microsoft Networks'! > restart the phone> turn off the machine and proceed to connect the cable to the two machines. - For the server: usually the Network And Dial Up Connections part is available with two computers directly connected to each other (Direct Connection), otherwise it is okay! We proceed by connecting to Make New Connection, select Next> select Connect Directly to another computer, click Next> select Host> select connection port as in Win9x> add users (default is Administrator and Guest)> Enter your username and password (if you want) for one or more accounts> OK> click Finish. - For the client: do the same thing and choose Guest instead of Host. In the Connection Availability section, select For All User (for everyone) if we want to log in with different accounts and Only For Myself (only for me) if not for other accounts. * Connect with Norton Commander (DOS) To connect two computers in DOS environment, you can use DOS's Interlink program, but it is best to use Norton Commander 5.0 (NC) software for easy control. Run NC on both machines, open the Left / Right menu, select the Link command. In the Commander Link dialog box, select the COM or LPT port used to connect. Then select Master on the server and select Slave on the client. * Connect with Total Commander (Windows) In Windows 9x / NT / 2000 / XP, if you do not want to use the Direct Cable Connection program with troublesome declarations, you should use Total Commander 6.0 software to connect two machines calculated via LPT port for simple and fast. In Windows, run Total Commander on both computers, open the Net menu and select the PORT connection to other PC command. Select Server for server and Client for client. Note: You only work on the client, the server will be 'paralyzed' while connecting. * How to connect Link cable (connect 2 computers) Connect with LPT port (parallel) Head 1 Head 2 feet 2 foot 15 3 13 4 12 5 10 6 11 15 2 13 3 12 4 10 5 11 6 25 25 (ground )

* USB connection (Universal Serial Bus) You buy a USB Data Link cable with a length of about 2m and connect it to two computers via USB. Software installation and driver (Gene Link File Transfer Driver) is provided with the data cable, then transfer data between the two machines with this software. You copy and move files from one device to another using the same Norton Commander (NC) software. There will be two windows open for the local desktop and remote desktop.
