Option 1: Pure Ethernet.
Install Network Interface Card (NIC) in each computer (PCMCIA NIC a Laptop) and Connect them with CAT5e Crossover cable. (Total cost about $15 between Desktops, $35 between Desktop to Laptop). The connection can run at a speed of 100Mb/sec.
You need to configure both computers to form a Network, and then switch On file Sharing.
Option 2: Mixed connection (Ethernet, and USB).
Let say that your Desktop has already NIC. Your Laptop has a USB port and you don't want to buy PCMCIA network card. You can plug a USB to Ethernet unit into the Laptop, and then connected the two computer via CAT5 crossover cable. (Total Cost about $30)
Speed of transfer depends on the type of USB.
USB1.1 will yield a Transfer of 11Mb/sec.
USB2.0 will yield a Transfer of 480Mb/sec.
You need to configure both computers to form a Network, and then switch On file Sharing.
Option 3: USB Direct.
Important - Never connect a regular USB to USB cable between two computers, the result may be one or two fried Motherboard.
Get a USB Direct Connect Module, it is a USB cable that has a special Network module installed on it. This Module act as a "NUll" connection and isolates the 5Volts lines between the two computers.
Example: USB2 to USB2 File Transfer Cable.
Connect the two computers with the special cable through the USB ports; install the Drivers and your are Connected.
You need to configure both computers to form a Network, and then switch On file Sharing.
USB1.1 will yield a Transfer of 11Mb/sec.
USB2.0 will yield a Transfer of 480Mb/sec.
If you use USB2.0 Special Cable both computers have to be USB2 capable. Otherwise it will default to USB1.1 and yield transfer 11Mb/sec. (Total cost about $20-$30).
Option 4: Direct Cable Connection.
This type of connection uses a cable to connect two parallel printer port (LPT), or two serial ports (COM.). It is the most inexpensive, but the slowest, and the most awkward. (Cost about $10).
