Work Laptop to Home PC Connection?

Bushboy

Hi,

I'd like to know what is the simplest way of connecting my work laptop to my home pc in order to move my Itunes library.

Do I use USB or serial leads?

Basically the work laptop is 3GB away from capacity and the itunes library is 13Gb so need to move that over to the home pc very quickly to free up space.

The laptop does not have a DVD burner but my home pc does.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

get a crossover ethernet cable - asuming that both computers of yours have a ethernet port and do it that way

a crossover cable is the cheapest way. (a fiver).
assuming both puters have a lan socket?

do you have a router?

Bushboy

Sorry, bit of a non-techie, That's a seperate box isn't it?
If so, no I don't.
Thanks.

To get on the internet, you either use a dial-up modem, or a broadband modem, or a broadband router. Routers usually have 4 ethernet ports so you can setup a home network to transfer files.

Cheers, I've just got the B/band modem.

I've just been passed some of those crossover cables but he mentioned the transfer of the itunes library might take a good while ( 13gb to move over )

you wanted the simplest, not the quickest!:)
