File Transfer Help Recquired

@ geno I think the reason why is the time to download. These files you transfer, are they the size in question.

I often do file transfers between computers with LAN connection. File dimensions never were a problem.

With nowdays 100/1000 LAN cards speed shouldn't be a problem.

I moved about 10 GB of files on my brother's HDD when I formatted my computer, to avoid to burn too many discs.

If you can't get the LAN and shares going. Hook up your daughters HDD in your PC as a slave or as master on another IDE channel and xfer the files that way. This beats burning a buncha DVD's also.

Setting up a workgroup will do the trick but you'll still transfer the files through the router and not at IDE speeds.

Go to a PC store a get a crossover cable and "hard wire" them together for the transfer.

If you don't wanna do that, as jm says, pop her HD in your PC on a spare IDE channel, let windoze recognise it and just drag and drop her files over.

I am sorry I did not post back sooner but been really busy. I want to thank everybody for their help & assistance. I probably ended up creating 3 networks (LOL). When somebody tells you your 2-way firewall might interfere, listen. The job is done through LAN. I never really timed how fast it transfers but it seems to be pretty fast. Once again thank you for helping myself & my daughter out.

I am wanting to get a gigabit switch(all my computers are gigabit ready)
going from 6MB/s to 40-50MB/s(which I figure is all my hard drives can handle
anyway).
