Right i have about 10gb that i want to move from my computer -> laptop.

How?

In the past Ive used USB drives/Cd's, but there must be an easier way?

Thanks, Nick

I use external HD or fire wire.

If they both have NICs, give them static IPs and connect them with a X-Over cable. (If you don't have one or a crimp-tool, just cut the wire and make one in the 'ghetto' fashion).

I have to do this at work all the time.

I just connect them both to the same network, get the IP address of one machine then on the other machine right click on My Computer and then Map Network Drive.

Then type in \\xx.xxxx.xxx.xxx\c$ hit enter, you might need to type in the account name and password for the machine you're trying to connect to.

If it doesn't connect then you may need to enable file and printer sharing which can be done in network connections.

That's how I do it at work, never tried it at home.
