What to do with old XP PC-local net maybe
Hi,
I have had my new pc for about 3 years now and from time to time i have used the old XP pc
this one
HP Pavilion a1000la Desktop PC Product Specifications HP Pavilion a1000la Desktop PC | HP® Support
which has 2 160gb hard drives and i really dont want to lose the storage space.
for a long time now i have been use tight vnc to communicate with it doing some small storage and some other stuff, but tight vnc is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow that i wish there was a better way.
I think my new and old pc each have one ethernet port so i would still have to go thru my router, or do i?
can i connect them pc to pc for faster file xfter via ethernet or what is the best thing to do with this old thing. It still works great but it has xp and the os cannot be upgraded to another version. It would have to be as is because as we know xp is no longer supported or updated.
Any suggestions or maybe even a link to a good video of how to set up a peer to peer thru a router and take tight vnc out of the loop...
thanks ")
