Hello, I need to copy lots of files and programs from my desktop machine to my ThinkPad 760 ED. Both machines are running under OS/2 Version 4. Since TranXit for OS/2 cannot handle long filenames, it is of no use to me (and I donīt get it running on the desktop anyway). Doing a backup on my ZIP drive and playing it back onto the ThinkPad is tedious - I would prefer to have a direct connection. Somebody once mentioned to me that I can set up a connection between both machines using a LapLink cable and using Warp 4īs inbuilt network abilities. Since the desktop does have a netwotk card installed, I am afraid that any experimentation cuold damage the existing setup and I would no longer be able to access the net to call for help :-) Perhaps I should mention that TCP/IP is installed on both machines. Therfore: is there anybody on this list who could give me a detailed step-by-step account of what I need to do to hook up my ThinkPad to the desktop? Will I be able to copy files with long filenames over that connection? What do I have to change in the MPTS notebook? Thanks in advance for any help! I really appreciate it.
