2 Computers exchanging files?

[maop99]

Sorry I don't know what its called but right now we have 2 computers in the office connected to one DSL line, these computers often share the same files etc. so what we always do is to put the files from one computer in a flash drive and transfer it to the other computer....I know there is a better way of doing this...can you transfer files from one computer to the other without using the flash drive anymore?

please help naman. Thanks

You can share the files and sync it so they may always be available even offline.

HTH.

yup.. just enable sharing sa folder mo pag naka-router na yung mga PC.

Ano yung hub? (sorry medyo konti lang alam ko sa computer terms)
yung isang computer XP yung isa 98 lang...pwede pa rin ba gawin ito?

[alwayz_yummy]

router(dsl-line to PC's) kasi may built-in hub(para interconnected 2 or more PCs) na..so no prob na..

pag 98 mahirap yan. install mo yung lan-driver nyan/upgrade to xp..

nasa control panel yan...

The simplest way to solve your problem is through a Network Attached Storage (NAS).

NAS are connected to the router and may be accessed anytime even if the other PC is not turned on.

before, 98 pa lang ang windows, we were using cables, like printer cable, tawag dito LAPLINK ma transfer mo lahat ng data. now meron ng IP messages you can send it lahat ng data, pero dapat naka-log kayo sa isang system, like mainframe, or network, dsl etc..

yes same DSL line and connected with a router...okay na ba ito? may nagsabi sa akin kailangan ng server or something.. wala kaming ganun....and the 2 computers a quite far from each other so mahirap lagyan ng cable...the only connectiont hey have in common is the DSL through the router.

a ok.. it means connected yun 2 pc, sa dsl, ganito bro, used IP messenger na lang. para makuha mo yun files mo, or share mo yun folder with lock then pag open mo sa other pc meron syang security lock. ok ba yun sayo? dito sa office namin ganun lang ginagawa, kung pede sa IP much better if not lock natin. meron din akong private folder were i can place all my private files, (alam nyo na yun boyz... heheh) pero meron sya lock as in d mo ma-oopen hanggat d mo alam ang lock code ng folders.

stick ka na lang sa flash drive or upgrade the other PC to XP.

What a delightfully open-ended question. If you're using a router, you can just set up file sharing. If you're using a hub, you should get a router. If you have no idea what I just said, you're better off finding a professional (or a computer savvy nephew) to help you do it.

Networks and sharing are tricky to set up properly, even for people that have been working with computers for years.

I had 2 computers in my house before, connected to 1 dsl.
Here's how we used to transfer

Get Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger on each computer, Upgrade each messenger service to the latest. Log in on both messengers (Using different names of course). Then transfer files that way, it's actually pretty fast, mine would download/upload at about 1mb+ per second. Try mu po, it's rapid fast. Simple and fast!

About don sa tanong mo... To get the two computers share their files with each other! First you must identify kung ano ang dsl modem, router and then hub. Yung DSL modem is yung peripheral na nakakabit directly sa telephone line nyo, usually is yung itsura non eh yung parang black box na may mga maliliit na ilaw or led. Meron din kulay gray or sometimes white yung DSL modem. Para malaman mo kung yon nga yung DSL modem, hanapin mo yung mismong line ng telepono nyo, then may junction box yon na puti, usually direct na nakakabit yon sa DSL modem or if you are using another line for the telephone, eh may splitter yon, one na papuntang telephone mismo and the other is don na sa DSL modem na.

Then the next thing is the router, yung DSL modem ay may wire na nakakabit sa router, e2 naman yung nagproprovide ng internet and network sa mga pc na nakakabit dito. Usually ganon din ang itsura ng Router... parang modem din ng DSL pero meron syang mga slot... karamihan eh 5 slots yon, 1 for the wire na papuntang dsl modem then the other 4 is yung mga slots na papuntang pc. D-Link and Surecomm karamihan yung brand ng router, just look kung e2 yung isa sa brand nya. Mostly direct to the router yung connection from pc to router kapag dalawa lang pc nyo sa office tulad ng sayo kase baka 4 port lang yung router nyo.

Kung ganon nga eh madali lang isetup yan...starting from windows XP..click Start then Settings and then Click Control Panel...Then lalabas yung table ng Control Panel, Hanapin mo yung icon ng System, double click mo yon then lalabas yung table ng System Properties...click mo yung tab ng Computer Name...hanapin mo yung Change na button tapos click mo yon! May lalabas na table na Computer Name Changes then irename mo yung Computer Name...kahit anong name ilagay mo pero mas maganda kung walang space or buong name lang sya kunwari "PC1" or "Accounting" or kahit ano basta walang space tulad nito "PC 1" or "PC Accounting". Then irename mo din yung Workgroup, kailangan puro capital letters at walang space pa rin. Kailangan unselected yung domain at workgroup ang nakaselect.

Pag ayos na click mo yung OK button then alam ko tatanungin ka ng windows kung magrerestart ka! Siempre irestart mo yung PC para ma-aaply yung settings... Do it wih the other PC pero kailangan magkaiba ng Computer Name pero the same ang workgroup then ok button ulit then restart mo rin! Kapag okay na parehas yung dalawang pc then punta ka sa windows explorer then select the drive you want to share...for example is drive C: right click mo sya then select sharing and security...tapos click mo yung link na may nakalagay na "If you understand the security risk but want to share files without running the wizard,click here" tapos may lalabas na table na Enable File Sharing...choose mo lang yung "Just Enable File Sharing" then click OK! Do it with the other PC!

Kung may Drive D ka or nakapartition yung HDD mo sa dalawa, Drive C and D pwede rin parehas mo ishare. Just do the same procedure in windows explorer. Then ok na parehas yon, nakashare na sila! Bast kung gusto mo makita yung files ng kabilang PC...double click mo lang yung My Network Places sa Desktop nya then makikita mo yung icon ng workgroup nyo sa lalabsa na table. Double click mo lang sya then makikita mo na yung dalawang PC... sayo and the other PC.click mo lang PC nya para pwede mo na ibrowse mga files nya!Naintindihan nyo po ba? This is my way of networking two pc's! My opinion din!
