I want to link my PC to my mate's PC to transfer a load of MP3s so she can burn them onto CD.
Before any of you suggest..
- E-mailing. There are WAY too many, it would take an age and she's a dirty student so anything costing more than a pot-noodle that isn't alcohol based would mean the end of the world for all man-kind...or just a lot of moaning which I can't be arsed with.
- Me buying a CD-Writer.. no point, buying a new PC soon....well maybe
So, how do I link up two PCs without spending a fortune on network cards and stuff? Is there like a cable I can buy or something?
Thankyouplease

Yep you can buy these from lots of different shops.
Buy it, use it and then take it back and say it doesnt work, I like it...

Two network cards and a patch cable won't cost more than £20.
If you were going to get a pen, SR do them the cheapest, i think.

Try and get one from Argos (if they do them). Use it. Then return it.

Or you could get your freind to download the songs of Kazaa then put them on CD for you.
You could have just said, "No. There isn't a CHEAP way to link your PCs"
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to cry.

Buying a network card, depends on how far away the other pc is, if they are not willing to bring it over to your house then there is no point, but the idea of a USB pen is good.
Well if you buy a cd writer, when you get a new pc, you just take it out of your old pc and put it in you new one.
If not how about a pen drive, they are about £60, but very handy, but i think that the best option is just to buy two cheap network cards and a cheap one 2 one cable and link the two up.
That way you can play games if you want to. and also transfer information in the future.

No, you can play games through serial but you cant transfer files, i believe.
