I have a network cable but have never tried to use it. I was told
that there might be conflict between the windows 2000 and the windows
xp. Both machines are working fine and I do not want to disturb them.
To copy anything from one to the other I use the seagate external
harddrive, just input from one computer and then upload to the
other.
I think that it should work just like a network.
If I networked them what files (AAC music) do I try to transfer.
Thank you.
