    File sharing program need help

    I'm looking for a windows file sharing program that I can use between 2 computers since my laptop doesn't seem to accept anything USB or really anything for that matter. I want to get my music, gobs of pictures and school work off but I don't want to transfer it all by the 2 gb flash drive I have. I thought about an external HD but I'd rather not waste money on something that my laptop wont even pick up. Any help is accepted unless you are going to try and help my laptop with the driver problems.
    TIA -Ben

    Ninja EDiT*! I sorta figured out a jimmy rigged way, if anyone has a good way or program still please respond!

      Um... Two ethernet cards and a piece of CAT5? Network them and share folders. Done and done.

          If you're connecting them directly together you need a Cat-5e crossover cable, otherwise it won't work..

          MAKE SURE IT'S CROSSOVER!

              I've never had good luck with that - at least not with newer OS's.

                  Its actually simpler than that. Just be on the same network.

                  As long as your two computers are on the same domain/workgroup (by default they will be), find out the computer name.

                  Go to start>run. Type in the fully qualified computer name with c$.

                  Ex:
                  Computer 1 computer name is D12345
                  Computer 2 is D56789

                  Go to the new computer. Type in the name of the other computer at hte run prompt.
                  \\D56789\c$

                  It will prompt for credentials. Type in \\computer name\username and then the password.

                  Boom you're browsing the other computers hard drive.

                      You can do what I just said with a crossover plugged together....

                      Otherwise just be on a the same hub/switch. Or wireless.
