craigcroarkin is an unknown quantity at this point
need help networking a pc and laptop in order to share files...

just getting a laptop for university but i want to transfer files from my pc to my shiny new laptop and since i do not have a dvd rewriter or cd rewriter on the pc the only other option is to network both

ive connected both via a crossover cable (i know that it is a crossover cable as ts the same one i use to connect to my xbox from my pc)

i also changed the ip address on the pc to 192.168.0.1 and the laptop to 192.168.0.2 in network connections on both the pc and laptop it says they are connected

ive also shared folders on my pc for use in the network but when i go to see the folders on my latop by typing \\cc\ i just get a error saying i cant connect,cc being the computer name of my pc

can anybody hep out please,cheers in advance
