Transfer data between computers

Hi, i was wondering how to transfer data from my laptop to my dell dimension 2400 desktop. Currently i have both hooked up to a netgear wgt624 v2 router and both connected via Ethernet.

the desktop is not connected to the internet *i connect to my friend's wireless network on my laptop* but i want to transfer movies to the desktop so i can watch them. I'm trying not to use CD's and DVD's because i just installed 500gb hard drive into desktop.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks

-regards, tom

 

you need to get all the computers on the same workgroup and allow file sharing between them. dont forget to specify shared folders.

or, you could always buy a flash drive
