Hello, everyone, I have found this site on chance and I hope that you can help with my dilemma. I have a crossover cable, but do not know how to configure both my PC and Laptop so that I can move files between them.
I'm sure this is a simple task, but it just arrived today and I'm still trying to get used to Vista.
Thank You in Advance.

I haven't tried this with Vista, but it worked pretty well in XP so I don't see why Microsoft would have gotten rid of the Transfer Wizard.
OK - I just re-read your post -
Using a cross-over cable, you'll need to give each machine its own IP address. Easy enough on XP in the TCP/IP Properties dialog box (don't know on Vista), but which IP to use??? All addresses in the range 192.168.0.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx are safe and commonly used by routers. As long as they have different addresses in the safe range, they should be able to talk to each other.

another way would be to put them both on the same workgroup (if u have any internet secruity u'll have to manually to set up a trust, required to work with Norton Internet Secruity)
good luck

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
