Alternate file storage?

Question

Can two PC's be connected to use one for file storage?

If so, how?

Answer 1

You can network two PC's together with a crossover cable. Providing they both have a NIC card.

Answer 2

Yes, you can get an "crossover" ethernet cable to network two PCs. You need to set up the "network configuration" and the cable needs to be "crossover" (which means it has a twisted pair wire, a special cable you can get at any Circuit City or CompUSA or similar store).

However, I think the best and lowest cost and most flexible and easiest solution for expanded storage is a external USB hard drive. Great way to backup DVDs and such.

Answer 3

you can make a data disk too saves all your things it your pc goes down
