Hi At the moment I have configured both my desktop (still running SuSE 8.2 Pro) and my laptop (running Debian testing) to be able to connect to the internet using ppp (DSL).
When I need to transfer files between the two computers I either use a CD-RW or copy the files to an FTP-server and download them again. Both these methods are slow and inefficient. I have a cross-over ethernet-cable and I would like to be able to configure both computers so I can switch between the current setup and the necessary configuration to transfer files across the cross-over ethernet cable. How do I know which files contain the current configuration? How do I configure my laptop to be able to use the cross-over connection? I know that getting a router has many benefits over this setup but I am still considering some alternatives and I would like to set this up until I make up my mind. I hope I make myself clear, if there are any details I left out I'm happy to provide further info.
