I want to be able to transfer a LOT of data from my linux box to a friends WinXP box. I have a cross-over cable. I need to know what I have to change on my computer (if anything) so that they can see each other. Even if I just ftp to an IP assigned on his box.
What's the easiest way? We are on a network with a cable modem connected to a switch, and then the computers are all connected to the switch. The problem is that each computer is on a different IP (and I was told different subnets), so that when I try to ftp the files to his computer it goes OUT through the modem to find his computer, instead of just going straight to the switch and then to his computer. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm Dragon Impersonating a Human and failing.
