Question

help! it doesent detect eachother, and i have 10 TB of memory and i want to transfer some of the stuff to my other pc

Answer 1

10 TB, that's a LOT of data.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by dsl cabel. A DSL modem connects to a phone cord in one end, and a CAT5 cable (network cable) comes out the other end and plugs into your computer or router.

You can connect a network cable between two computers and you can then transfer data between the two computers. If you have DSL you probably want to invest a little money into a small switch, hub or router, which each computer can connect to and be connected to the internet. However, you can make it work with just a network cable between the two computers. You have to make sure the network cable is a cross-over cable, if it's a strait-through cable then it wont work. You can tell because if it's a strait-through cable because it will have an identical wire configuration on each end. After you connect the two computes with the cross-over cable, you have to manually setup the TCP/IP configuration. You need to give them each an IP address on the same range and subnet mask, then it will work. I don't have time to go into more detail.

Answer 2

maybe you can just burn it onto a disc. or go to your local computer store and ask for the cable that is use to transfer data from one pc to another. i dont know the name of the cable ,but i'm sure that someone at the computer store will.
