Dear alt.comp.microsoft.windows, How would I go about creating a shared folder, that is only shared through the direct cable between my two computers? I guess it's less about the security, and more about the speed and convenience of not having file transfers interrupt the internet traffic. As far as I can tell, this is not discussed at all on the Microsoft QA website, nor can I find anything with a casual websearch. So, to break down the problem statement, I don't know how to * configure the extra ethernet ports with a different local area subnet IP addresses, * use those addresses to enable sharing only through said cable. Is there a kind soul who can direct me to the right website or knowledge base where this kind of setup is discussed? I can provide an ASCII art diagram of my LAN if requested. -- Johann | email: invalid -> com | http://www.myrkraverk.com/blog/ I'm not from the Internet, I just work there. | via Easynews.com
