what is the fastest way to connect two computers that are in the same room? I've tried an ethernet cable (100 mbps), then I tried a USB virtual network connection (480mpbs). is there anything faster? This is for direct file sharing.

if thats not fast enough i doubt its the netwrkinf connection that is lagging you.

What about ethernet 1Gb? don't most new motherboard have such network card integrated.

What about getting back your grip with reality. Transferring big files over a simple serial cable across a room takes its time.

Tired of waiting? Go away and do something else, for crying out loud.

Nothing to do with the subject, but I remember an early-Internet record in bandwith. A huge hosting center was moving their servers over quite a distance. They loaded the servers on a truck and drove to the new place. That was the most bytes pr. second transferred at that time.

On subject: You need to look in to optics if you want really fast connections.

If the above fails try magic beans.

f u c k you. it was a simple question you d i c k, no need to be an ass. 480mbps is pretty fast yes. i was just wondering if there was a faster way. also i was not talking about a serial cable. why don't you get in touch with reality and stop wasting my time

i'm asking if i can find a faster route, the top speed i get now is not as fast as a normal internal hard drive would run.

what I do is copy the files to a flash drive, eject, plug in to the other pc, move them, eject. done.
But I don't have any of the cables needed for the other ways.

Maybe I'm missing somthing but I dont think you can read that fast from a single hard drive. If you want to simply copy files from one pc to another you wont get any faster than your hard drive read speed.

does anyone know how to test how fast files are being transferred to an external drive on winxp?

Well could anyone explain how to set up something like this...through USB that is.. I too have two computers at the studio, and something like this would be very helpful...

you'll need a usb data link. do a search on google for one, theres a lot of brands out there. when you install the drivers for it be sure to select virtual network and not superlink. once its installed wait for it to establish connection, then (if you own xp) goto My network places. on the left there is an option to view entire workgroup, click that. this will bring up the option to see your computer and the connected one. be sure to enable sharing the desired drives so they appear on the network.

gigabit ethernet allows extending beyond 2 machines and brings far more possible applications with it.

you may have your cases open all the time and transfer entire HDs

no reason to insult people anyway.
