Need move on from direct cable connection?
Hello group
For decades almost I have been satisfied with using serial DCC to transfer needed files occasionaly between mostly DOS, and win 98 computers. I'ts pretty slow but reliable. I now have 2 win xp home sp3 computers to deal with as well, one is a pentium II platform. The other is an Intel Atom high speed, huge RAM, huge HDD Netbook. All machines have ethernet hardware, though I've never put my hand into that. I have a wireless, and a wired type routers, whatever they're for. I can live with not being able to do file transfers in the background while doing something else on the active window but prefer the former. I can't spend much money. My questions: A - Could I Direct Cable Connect more than 2 machines at once? Is it even feasible? What kind of cable setup? B - If I couldn't, what would be a Simple way of using the ethernet function to achieve more than 2 machines? C - Is using the fastest machine with the most memory as the server (sender) machine faster than using a slower one? (my intuition says yes) Thanking you in advance douglas |
