Transfer data between two Laptops using a lan wire

Hi guys,
I was hunting for this way for many days and finally i found it.You must be sharing GB's of data with your friends everyday as i do , but the way is different.You copy the same data twice but i copy it just once.Actually i connect my laptop and my friend's laptop directly and then copy paste between them instead of using some pendrive or external hard-disk.We will use a ethernet wire to connect two laptops.This ethernet wire is none another than the wire we use to connect our internet-modem with laptop,but with some different configuration.The wire we use with modem is a straight-ethernet cable,

but we need a "CROSS-ETHERNET CABLE" here. You may get this wire from local vendors in a range of 30-60 INR.There are further many types and qualities of these type of wires, but CAT-5 (category-5)type is sufficient in our case.Now let's begin ==>

<<  For FIRST COMPUTER  >>

< 1 > After Connecting two laptops with the Cross wire . We just have to assign ip-address of same network range.

< 2 > Open RUN(press window button with "r").type ncpa.cpl and press enter.You will see a window containing your network connections

< 3 >Select LOCAL AREA CONNECTION. and right click on it Then click on properties.


< 4 > dOUBLE Click on INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 4(TCP/IPV4)
< 5 >A window for internet protocol version 4 properties will pop up. Then fill the follwing details in it.


< 6 > Then press ok and then go to second computer.

<<  for SECOND COMPUTER >>

 < 7 > repeat the above steps and just change the ip address from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.3 in step.5.Then press ok.

< 8 >Like if you want to transfer a folder from first computer to second.then right click on that folder.And Share it with all the permissions to all users ie EVERYONE.like in this example the folder's name is NEW FOLDER present on desktop.

< 9 >Most Important Turn OFF the FIREWALL.(open run type firewall.cpl , then turn it off)

< 10 >Now go to second computer . Open run over there and type "\\192.168.1.2" which is the ip address of first computer.

< 11 >On pressing enter it may ask for username and password.Enter the same you have in first computer(put it on if you don't have password over there else all this is not possible)


< 12 >You are done . Now You can copy paste from first computer as if it is within your computer .

< 13 >To transfer data from second computer to first computer. Use The Above Steps Accordingly.

 Soon i will post a article for making your own Cross Cable !

you can connect the computers to 1 another employing a crossover coaxial cable. once connecting your computers along side Associate in Nursing coaxial cable, you'll be needed to change the network settings on one in every of the computers to determine the cable association. you'll then have the power to transfer or share files, and play network games between each computers. Continue reading this text to be told concerning the procedure for connecting your computers along side local area network on either a Windows seven, Windows visual percept, or Macintosh software package (OS).

There are many ways to handle such data migration one of which is mentioned above. However, if you are not tech savvy or if you don't have a LAN cable or if you want to avoid going through such a long step to just migrate your data among laptops, I would consider something easier to manage yet affordable such as GS RichCopy 360. I worked pretty amazing for me. Hope that might help you as well.
