Okay, for some reason I'm getting confused over the setup.

I currently having a wireless setup in my home with homenetworking (XP) through a wireless router. But the file transfer speed is supper slow for large files (though wireless setup runs at 54mbps).

Anyways, I just bought a Xover ethernet cable and now want to link two PCs together for file transfer between these 2 only, and nothing more. But I also do want to keep the previous setup as they're (wireless with homenetworking) so theses two PCs can surf via wireless and talk to the rest of the computers at home by wireless.

Network gurus, please help out.

Thanks.

 

54Mb = less than 7MB/s not only that you'll never hit the max line speed. so if you're moving 100MB file it will take some times.

 

just connect one of the computers to the router over ethernet whenever you ahve to do large transfers

 

Thanks Rick, so can you tell me how can I set it up for xover without messing up my wireless setup?

Janivi, I'd like to but my router are too far away from my two PCs so I don't can't link them via ethernet instead.

 

just connect them together (Duh)
