I have 7-8 GB of data on a Dell laptop running Windows XP Pro
that I'm trying to transfer to my Titanium Powerbook G4. I
don't have access to a DVD burner, so I'm trying to transfer
this data by directly connecting the two laptops with an
ethernet cable. I haven't been able to get this method to work.
As instructed in the OS 10.3 Help, I turn on the relevant
file-sharing port in Sharing Preferences and attempt to add
the Powerbook to My Network Connections on the PC.
Unfortunately, the PC does not recognize the Powerbook as
being on the same network. Any ideas where I'm getting
tripped up? Or better ways of transferring this data painlessly?
I've been using a straight ethernet cable for the connections.
From the Apple website, I understand that a crossover
ethernet cable is not necessary and that a straight ethernet
cable is sufficient for my model of Powerbook.
