But blocking high ports for online games sucks ass. Though if you can round up enough local geeks in the dorms you can just play a large LAN game :thumbs: Same goes for file sharing, if you scan your local subnet when you get there for open windows shares, you should find some interesting results :cool:

Only to protect their own backs in the long run.

Depending on what uni you go to, you may get ass raided, I heard Manchester have some tight rules going on with their access. Also just on a technical note, we don't acually have Tx's over here in the UK (or Europe I think) We have E1,E2,E3. :wave:

	Oh also you can try writing a list of all the software you need first, files and what have you. THEN burning it to CD.

	i believe you can network via USB :thumbs: However, you need a converter usb cable, which is about 40 odd quid :( So it would be cheaper to get another NIC card and a crossover cable, and transfer files that way :thumbs: LINK HERE ON USB NETWORK

	u'd be better off going buying another network card for the second machine and a rj45 crossover cable - should cost £10 - £15 quid at most - plus you can use it when both machine's are sorted:thumbs:

	I've just got another PC (which I've built), but all parts except for the screen turned up, so I'm manually swapping the cables back and forth between the 2 pcs... Anyway, I keep realising I need things, whether it be from this computer, or the internet and am currently constantly slapping it on a cd to move it across! But isn't there a easier way just to temporaily link the 2 pc's so I can send things across? 1 has a network card, but the other doesn't... Am I able to just get a usb cable and plug it from one pc to the other? and when I do this, how would I need to set it up, so I can remotely access the other pc from the other (or just send things across easily (without having to change the monitor around every time) cheers...
