    It allows you to see your desktop in your laptop which is currently what I am doing, meaning that I'm using all the desktops resources, this is using tight VNC.
    I also am using a separate connection I'm using a crossover cable going through my house so it will not waste my LAN.

    If both machines are XP, then you can go to the file sharing wizard and do what your after pretty easily.
    I'm sure you can with vista as well, but it'll have some pretty icons or something that will make it harder..lol

    I used to before i had to wipe my laptop..had it set up through my wireless router.
    File sharing between pc's.
    whatever was in shared folder was accessable on either pc.

    But yea the crossover cable is prolly the cheapest lol.

    crossover cable , use ftp .
    best idea - get a wifi router , connect it directly to pc lan card.
