Check that link, it will tell you many ways to do it.

 

Get yourself a fast wireless router...connect that to your router..connect to the internet and your pc wirelessly.

 

get a LAN card and a LAN wire. My brother is also using laptop by connecting it with PC... You will be surely able to connect with this method..

 

Go wireless, and enjoy!

Or you can connect PC with USB wire and laptop with the LAN wire and use VLAN.

 

I didnt get a solution yet

 

im not a good computer literate person..but this will be useful one day. i need to know an answer too!

 

Cheapest way would be to buy a cheap ass LAN card for PC and then share files between computers through router

 

So i have to spend somthing?

 

Yeah, I agree.. go wireless. That's what I'm on now... 5-6 computers on one wireless router... also my computer has AppServ on it so other people connected to the router can view a folder on my laptop like a website... handy for transferring sound recordings from one computer to another.

 

why do you want to connect them? if you wanted a bigger screen then you can just hook them up.

 

to transfer data play lan games

 

Just buy a LAN Card, and a straight cable with RJ-45 connector and if u can install Win 7 .U can easily connect Pc to u'r Laptop.
