Ahh. You'll have to get a crossover cable or a hub/switch. Then you can plug your two PC's together. Also, no offense, but there's another thing we computer folk use called goo..gugg..google? I think it's called google.

Try that first next time.

it wont transfter at 100mbps. u need to divide that speed by 8 (8 bits in a byte or something like that) to get the actual transfer rate. Its megabits not megabytes. so therefore u could only transfer at a maximum of 12800kbps (or 12.8MB).
